Good news! Nothing wrong in inviting foreign expertise. Those of you criticizing this notion of foreign experts are not living in Malawi and totally disconnected from the reality.There is a high shortage of skills and mainly engineering skills here at home.We are straggling to even get highly skilled brick layers here and those available produce a lot of sub-standard work.Death robbed us the many skilled people we used to have.

Malawians criticize any intervention. If this works, you start clapping hands. Just go on Chaponda and forget these useless comments.

A waste of time bringing foreign experts who will just demand huge sums of money for payments yet we do have engineers working at Nchalo and Dwangwa for the same irrigation projects. Malawi will never learn from its past. We have greedy leaders and I do not doubt that this is another syndicate aimed at siphoning cash out of the government coffers.

Government, especially DPP Ministers can you learn to implement projects that… Read more »

You have to wait for foreigners to do it for you. And again the minister does not have a time table when it will all start. You’re not serious.

why to spend more money by bringing in the so called experts of irrigation to draw water from lake Malawi just go to Dwangwa in Nkhotakota Dwangwa sugar corporation is irrigating 90% of their estate with the water from the lake
Please Malawians lets use our resources wisely

Who is doing that in Nkhotakota and are they doing it for free Mr wise man? you want to ask illovo to stop growing sugarcane and grow maize who will give them the money….? What are you doing for your country yourself? These people will set up things and teach us how to do it since we havent been able to do it ourselves and then they will leave everything for you and me to manage and continue…

people learn skills from the job they are doing more Malawians have learned the irrigation skill there and there can cannot be a problem to them if they can be asked to develop the irrigation system in the areas which they will draw water from the lake like salima nkhatabay and karonga mangochi will be the easiest
Illovo just taught us the irrigation techniques there is no need to stop them growing sugarcane

THIS IS WHAT MALAWIANS ARE SUPPOSED TO BE HEARING AND IF IT MATERIALISES, MALAWI WOULD BE SELF SUFFICIENT AGAIN.

IT ONLY TAKES A DECISION TO COME TO FRUITATION. APM LEAVE SUCH THINGS AS A LEGACY FOR PEOPLE TO REMEMBER YOU ON

This project should have taken of ground when Malawi became a independence state, anyway still not too late, will take time but will feed the generations to come, well done.
