It is mind blowing to see the president and his cohort globe trotting in the name of attracting investors when there is no electricity in Malawi. Every aspect of investment requires reliable energy.

Mr Mphande I think you question is unrealistic. Sometimes let’s be honest with what we want to achieve with our writings. Rehabilitation using MCC grant funds has just started, so you want to pretend as if you don’t know what is happening in your nation. We serious needs maintenance now but there should alternative while we are replacing our old machines. The best thing you can do Mr Mphande, check the progress of project and up date with right information.
