MMMMMMMM Malawi… Once upon in time we were told that splitting Escom into Escom and Egenco will improve efficiency as this will reduce bureaucracy and that Egenco will focus on Electricity generation. But I am yet to see the anticipated improvement. Malawi, is Doomed.. decisions are made as if we don’t have technical experts in all fields.. it seems that we all face the day as it comes without thinking about what to do to fix our existing problems. But on the other hand I have observed that as a country, professionals fear to make better decision coz we have… Read more »

We can never believe what anyone in authority tells us. Compare the doom and gloom of this article with one from Daily Times at the beginning of the week. There it was proclaimed that the blackouts will be minimal. However, if a huge chunk of 100 MW is taken off-line, then this NT article is more credible. See: https://www.times.mw/blackouts-to-be-minimal-upon-nkula-shut-down-egenco/ Blackouts to be minimal upon Nkula shut down—Egenco Posted By: Caroline Kandieroon: March 26, 2018 Electricity Generation Company (Egenco) has assured its consumers that power blackouts WILL BE MINIMAL in the course of maintenance works to be carried out at Nkula… Read more »

January 6, 2018: Escom board chairperson Perks Ligoya, who was accompanied by Ministry of Natural Resources, Energy and Mining chief director Chimwemwe Banda, Escom chief executive officer Alexxon Chiwaya and other senior Escom officials, told journalists at Zobue in Mozambique that the arrival of the gensets would contribute to the improvement of power supply by reducing blackouts, thereby improving the country’s economy. March 29, 2018 when all gensets are in operation: Electricity Supply Corporation of Malawi (Escom) has confirmed that power generation slumps again and announced extended hours of load shedding of up to 18 hours for five days during… Read more »

Inconsistent’s from Escom plus lies from den of thieves & foolish Cyril James Chindame had the audacity to write rubbish that APM will likely win. His maths don’t add up only doctored article with money his eating from them.

If Malawians were in any doubt about the incompetence and uncaring attitude of DPP political leaders, ESCOM/EGENCO board (and executive); then this is it. What more evidence should we be subjected to before we say enough is enough. I would never have imagined that, in a democratic space, Malawi would degenerate to such a level. This is like living in uncivilised world led by a president (and his cabinet) without vision, strategy or plan to move a country and its people forward. If it was in any other civilised country, the Minister of Energy would have resigned, EGENCO/ESCOM board and… Read more »
