“Like we said in our Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) manifesto, our main objectives is to develop this country. We are precisely going to transform this country,” he said.

President Mutharika said he was impressed with progress of construction works on the 4.4 kilometer highway which Mota-Engil is constructing .

“This is transformation,” he said. “Others are promising development projects in future, we are implementing our projects right now.”

The President disclosed that plans are underway to launch another dual carriage way project in the capital city from Biwi to Kamuzu International Airport (KIA).

Briefing President Mutharika on the scope of work for the current dual carriage highway project, Malawi Roads Authority (MRA) Chief Executive Officer, Engineer Emmanuel Mutapa said it (the dual carriage way) is split into three sections including Area 49 to Area 18, Presidential Way and Area 18 Round about interchange.

“Area 49 to Area 18 section runs from the junction with Kaunda road near Bingu International Stadium to Area 18 round about. The section runs parallel to the Lingadzi River on one side and residential areas of Area 49 and 18 on the other side,” he said.

He said the Presidential Way section is running from Area 18 round about, passing through Area 14, to Parliament roundabout.

Mutapa disclosed that the contractor, Mota Engil, has completed much of the work on the two sections and is currently concentrating on the construction of the interchange.

He said the scope of works for the dual carriage way will also involve construction of a bicycle lane and pedestrian walkway.

The project is being bankrolled by the Malawi Government through the Road Fund Administration.

  3. Ananena kale chilima! It’s ur duty as govt to construct roads, nde osamatiwalila on things that ur are obligated to do! It’s ur job ka Mr President! Just do ur job and don’t boast about it. Ndinu wantchito wathu inuyo👍😉

  4. Never be deceived,this is a real president not this fake ones. Some people are devils and were born with drvilish spirit in their bones
    You go to hello you devils

    1. Just write in Chichewa baba lol judging by the level of your IQ I wouldn’t take you seriously! Too many blue paint-boys with access to internet nowadays Adadi is sponsoring too many little Mchachaz kkkkkkkkk

  5. He scored 39% in housing project assessment and Central region is the least beneficiary. Is that something to be proud of? If your child scored 39% in an exam would be be jumping around, cerebrating and smiling? Those watching you would rush to Zomba Mental Hospital, sure

  6. Time frame for his reign is five years. So he is in order. Every president uses money from taxes to bring about development. Even Kamuzu did not use his personal money. Tell me which one among them will use his own money? SKC , Chakwera, JB, Atupele they are all making promises which will need our taxes to be implemented. Don’t just copy and paste what SKC is saying. I know he knows APM has done alot of developments so he is afraid that is why he has coined that ideology. APM woyeeeeee 2019 boma

  7. Maybe you should deliver your promise on electricity supply seeing you’ve been vowing to make blackouts a thing of the past

  8. PROBLEM WITH PETER AND GOODAL IS THAT THEIR REASONING IN DEVELOPMENTAL ISSUES IS LIMITED –FORGETTING THEIR EXPERIENCES /EXPOSURE IN EUROPE /AMERICA –THEIR REASONING/MIND SET IS THAT OF ROY WERENSKY THINKING THAT CONSTRUCTING AN INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT IN MZUZU IS A WASTE OF RESOURCES AND THINGS LIKE THAT — WE ARE IN 21ST CENTURY —THEIR MINDSET DOESN’T CORRESPOND WITH THE CENTURY /ERA

  9. A fake president, somebody who spends much of his time on thinking of how to enrich himself and his colleagues more that Malawi has ever have! To hell with your transformation ideas!

    These are same lies he gave us in 2014. If DPP will transform Malawi through colourful project promises why has it failed to implement the 75 promises it gave in 2014.

    Malawians the best to do with party is what ‘Kenani’ has said and I quote: If DPP or APM gives you a manifesto for 2019, flush it down the toilet. They are all lies!

  10. Ine olo atandifaira doom mkamwa, sindingavotere nkhalamba. Nkhalamba ntchito zawo ndi kuba basi. Akamaona tikuvala ma Pierre Cardin samakondwayi. Amafuna mnyamata aliyense azizipaka paint wa chiipani chawo. Stupid old age

  11. To APM, that is our taxes. So nothing to brag about here. Your campaign ploy…. we won’t clap hands for this. APM , we as the electorate employed you to do this using our taxes. It is not your money APM. Uziputsitsa anthu otsadziwa.

    After all, roads are an relatively easier infrastructure project. Tell us you are building a hospital, which is a harder project. Bring electricity back to factories and homes. We cannot clap hands for doing very little. It’s part of your job APM.

    1. Amalawi pena pake President Author Peter Munthalika akutipangira zabwino mgankhare zili ndalama zanthu koma President Author Peter Munthalika akuzigwiritsa ntchito bwino ndalamazo pomwe ena atha kumayika mmatumba mwawo ndiye amalawi pakufunika 2019 tikamuvoterenso chifukwa akupanga zitukuko zambiri dziko muno

      1. Rex John. I have travelled in many countries where roads are being constructed at lightening speed. I have never heard head of states or presidents for those countries wandering about and bragging about such projects. It is normal. Because some Malawians like you raise their bar so low, they are so gullible to clap hands for such small projects.

        In SKC erra, these kind of projects will be business as usual. You will not see SKC trying to gain praise for such measly projects. SKC wants bigger things for Malawians.

      1. Don’t ask me that lame question. Your DPP president sounds as if he uses his pocket money. Too daft!

  12. Transformation does not mean road construction only, please go beyond and lots of areas where you have failed. Now that elections are drawing near that’s when you want to show us that you’re transformational leader, umbuzi basically!

    1. Thanks for bragging! I have visited the US thrice where I have spent 3 weeks on average. The US is where you spent over 30 years and you well know what we mean about road development. From deep down your heart, would you really brag about the Parliament-Bingu Stadium dual carriageway development? I would excuse you if it was Jappie Yappie Mhango bragging, not you, Sir.
