69% ESCOM requested meant 60% more VAT into Goodal’s coffers to finance DPP’s campaign. Some if the projects highlighted have already featured in previous applications meaning they have already been paid for through current tariffs.

Anthu oyipa, akuba inu, tikudziwa amene wakutumani kukonda kukama yowonda ng`ombe. Inuyo mumapatsana ma units aulere monthly but you want to punish us heavily while your services are at the lowest point. Mupitira limodzi ndi ambuyani chaka chamawa.

Just to add. ESCOM is a public entity created to provide services to the citizens. It’s run on tax papers’ money. It is not a private company that should splash out benefits as if they have all the money in the world to spend. Make cuts in your operations and you will see that the revenue you have been getting is more than enough to provide fairly priced services to the nation and not what you are asking for. Working for the public service is a sacrifice. For once, be human beings

Even if the request for tariff increase is warranted, the fact that the board and executive are unable to arrest rampant corruption within and outside their ranks, is problematic. Consumers have lost confidence in Escom’s ability to generate and distribute electricity in the most efficient and cost-effective way. It seems the request for higher tariffs is to compensate for massive cash leakages with a board that doesn’t have a spine to close the gapping hole.

Put in place sound financial management systems and stop funding political parties. Not all Malawians are associated with parties, nor parties are supposed to benefit from Escom business. Escom’s business is to provide power to Malawi. Send back the generators which has been a waste of resources. You acquired them when you were not ready to manage them

They want more money to fund the ruling elites at the expense of poor Malawians. There is massive abuse of public resources at ESCOM. They are not honest. Bravo MERA for partial approval of the new tarriffs
