Everyone should know that Anati Jere is not an engineer by training. He did land development and was with illovo Nchalo as farm farm manager where he demonstrated lack of management skills resulting to consistent low tonnage of cane from his section.This man can’t perform. This country is failing to move forward because we choose incompetent individuals to guard our resources. Government may have good plans to develop this nation but if this trends continues, then it’s not wrong to say that the project’s are just a bait to swindle tax payers money. The roads are poor, take an example… Read more »

A Kasaila mwavomereza just because a VP ayankhulapo, we know munapita kuseli kukatenga part of the money and the contractor being in business had no choice but to put up a sub standard dyke. Nanunso munachita ka DYKEGATE kanu. Like father like son.

Where was the supervisionfrom the government during the construction? Naonso a kunsaira amvekere eeeh it’s substandard, him being an MP for the area why was he able to track quality of the project implemented in his area. This is shithole

It is unfortunate that you are working with thieves and that should not surprise you. You chose to support thieves and you are shithole too.

Finally someone who is speaking up on mediocre construction projects happening in malawi. Now speak against the construction of the new btz stadium. We dont need it! Not with so many priorities laying around. We cant think of constructing a stadium ahead of roads, power and hospital infrastructure. Its absurd!

If my analysis is correct Chilima’s message is not directed at the contractor, butKasaila whose ministry was supposed to be supervising the construction works. I tend to agree with some commentators that part of the money was given to DPP. This is why in 2019 people in the Lower Shire will not give any vote to DPP and if anything Kasaila must be careful, he may not retain his Parliamentary seat. Utesi.

I am not an Engineer but I surely know what goes into such a project. We are talking of lots of reinforcement steel, cement, quarry stone, etc stretching across 823 metres. Thats just a little short of a Kilometer. And the dyke has to have a considerable deep foundation and a good height to serve its purpose. Now you don’t need to be genius to see that, that is not a work of 290m. Simple mathematics will show you substandard output obviously. Question is, is this the money that was initially budgeted for this project? Are you sure the project… Read more »

Why did the contractor accept the project he surely knew that he could not do at the said price. You and me do not know what is specified in this dyke. Is it earth made or concrete is involved or what about it’s size. I’m also a professional contractor and a construction expert for that matter but substandard work should not be blamed on the cost here because the contractor was fully aware of what was involved in signing the contract.

I am sorry to say I fail to see the works of professional contractors and construction experts of Malawi origin. Either they aren’t there or they are fake. If a doctor or a nurse is inefficient their certificates are withdrawn. There is rampant ignominious engineer results in Malawi, Isn’t there a body that can recall these bastard self acclaimed dubious engineers?
