Email a copy of 'Escom's $10m contract goes to Rousant International without tender: Locals smell cashgate' to a friend
Malawi went down fighting 1-2 to Egypt's national team 1 in a friendly match on Monday amid their preparation for...
We are crooks. We are taking advantage of sleeping Malawians.
Tell me. Which local company, apart from WICO and Raiply can supply poles? Do you think ESOM can proceed with such an Expensive order without Directuraxte of Public Procurement knowing? Come on Malawians. Let ESCOM fast tack some procurements to expeditiously reduce the new connections backlog.. Next we will hear the same people complailing about ESCOM’s inefficiency.
Can ACB plis, plis, plis and i say pliiiiis not only investigate these poles but all previous tenders Rousant has supplied to our Escom and also closely check the Transformers it supplied two years ago if they are still specifically doing its purchased purposes and how the award took place. ACB should also investigate Rousant, a briefcase company without any factory in RSA has to be winning so huge tenders in Malawi than well established companies in RSA. Search me Rousant are terrible crooks.
There is no evonomy in Africs that grew eith Indians. They dleep in shops in centrsl towns. Very few like HTD invest in nice buildings. Ambiri mu Limbe they sleep pamwamba pa dhop. I know 5 Indians whose daily leaving is forex trading. U give them Malawi Kwacha and same day you have Tands in RSA or USA. They do not use an official RBM approved forex centre NO.
Why is everything being pointed to Indians rousant does not belong to an Indian and do you some Indians are 5th generation born and bred Malawians how more indigenous can they be.
I am Malawian and a mwenye to bad if you can’t digest it.
Poles are poles from Bluegum tree and not designed and made by man from unnatural material. And coming to think of it, if a local company was chosen to supply, they could have bought part of the consignment from Chikangawa Forest, thereby reducing required forex
Should even supply of poles contract go to a foreign company? I would understand if it was some technical works. We Malawians must love our country and not our own tummies. ACB should investigate.
We have got enough Bluegum Trees in our country,why are u going outside the country?
Also so many Local Companies in our Land,Why going for Foreign Companies?
This is a well written story. The facts are that it is true that Malawians want to provide substandard works or goods and a lot of shortcuts. Within no time the pot holes are back then we start pointing fingers at the authorities. Look at the escom concrete poles along mbayani on the road to chileka. Crooked and ugly. Thats local for you.
We have to improve to compete. We are also not honest in our works. If we stop paying bribes and report those asking for bribes we will level the playing field.
the ball is in our court.
John do you really beilive that even Indians would not have the muscle to supply these poles. Why an RSA company. Who says because you are trading in 50 countries you cant bribe. These rousant people are bloody crooks ever.
Lets accept reality something is not right in Malawi. Escom would rather give Rousant than gossiping Malawians. Mlombwa yekha sakwanitsa.
