it’s funny how the article appears, there is a sentence in the article which reads ” some corrupt councillors are award contracts to …” common gentlemen, councillors have that mandate? The government and all council here have a system of awarding contracts and not councillors.
what is the role of ODPP?
why we procurement?
Who controls the rendering in all councils?
Teach me the reasons of finance department?
School me where the councillor can penetrate?

Here I have contributed before, malawi suffers from toxic partisan politics. Most businesses are simply fronts but belong to the same people making high level decisions so all they do is recycle the businesses back to themselves and as you can imagine most of them do not have technical expertise therefore we should not be surprised if the roads are failing. Let government and procurement agencies devise a returner on all contracts and that returner is used in case there failures. All major contracts should compel contractors to provide a certain percentage of capital outlay to show commitment. Have proven… Read more »

Did we engage a consultant in all these roads to monitor and certify? Please don’t cheat Malawians. Mwagawana ndalama ndiye nkumaiima pa nsanja and talk as if your hands are clean. This country is in a big standards problem. If you need quality infrastructure stop awarding contracts based on partisan affiliations. It has never worked anywhere in the world.

The problem is Roads Authority and DPP. Road contractors are asked to pay 10% to individuals at RA for every contract and this money is for DPP campaign. Those who do not agree are hardly given any business. So the regular suppliers for RA do not care of the standard as they cannot be brought to book.

Lets accept that we have problems with construction companies in Malawi. It seems we have no competent companies like Mota Engil or Chinese companies. Though local companies cry when contracts are awarded to foreign companies, the fact has been exposed now. To me it is not intent to defraud government but lack of competence and knowledge on the task given to them. The best is to give road construction no matter how short the length of the road to foreign companies. Indigenous or local companies on road construction have disappointed us. Area 36 via Phwetekere to Falls was constructed by… Read more »
