Indeed, just to echo what others have said, this is indeed a good learning or educating contribution. We need quite a few on the same. Let me comment on a few issues raised here in. Does Malawi need foreign aid to construct bus terminals …. car parks – I think the answer to this depend on the orientation one has. For starters, I think and perhaps it is a fact that Malawi has many pressing needs at the moment against very few financial resources. Besides, the payback on these project, looking at it politically, are rather long term than five… Read more »

Some very good articles coming from the pen of Frank Chirwa!
Everybody knew that Nsanje Port was an ego-trip for Bingu that had NO chance of realization. A good land-route to the Indian Ocean ports, either by rail or road, is the only way forward for Malawi. Foreign donors, and Malawian flatterers, should not allow presidents to feel that they are gods who can do anything they like and defy the laws of nature (a shallow river estuary) and international politics (Mozambique’s sovereignty and commercial interests).

A poor plan, if effectively implemented is better that a good plan not effectively implemented. I fully support the project.

Alas my poor land locked country. Good projects keep on coming but lacks continuity with the next government. Too much politicising developmental projects kuti a ziti ndiyawoyawo as a result money are drained and being idle instead of being productive. Why can’t u formalise National Development Council totally independent for the good of the Malawia development. Take the advice seriously. See how some of projects were paralysed in funding if a new party is in gvt. A wise person learn from others. Otherwise these are the projects we need in our country.

This project if it can materialize the road also need to be improved Liwonde -Zomba and Liwonde -Lilongwe. The volumes of Malawi goods howeve,r cannot support business turn-over profit to investors. To plan business depending Zambia’s imports is like buying clothes
for a woman you met on a street hoping to marry one day. Malawi is landlocked , so it has
to first improve or upgrade its road networks (at least to heady duty dual carriage) and highways .
