Those who know the nitty gritty of contracts in Malawi cannot speak what the MP has said . The most important thing Malawians should know is that government through RA and ODPP are obliged to select the cheapest contractor among the eligible bidders. Due to the poverty and most contractors are burning their hands through kutchipisa ntchito So that they can win a contract. There by they compromise on quality in order to break even or have a little profit. The best RA can do is to revert to engineers estimate mode of selecting successful bidders.

keep up Lally if Malawi could have many of such MPs I think more things could have improved. It is very true most roads are left in bad state after the so called road grading due to the use of graders which instead of maitaining roads into better standard they remove the soil and put the roads into bad state. But please do not just speak there in the assembley but comfront these sub standard contractors through District assembley.

Malawian roads are not safe. Driving at night is very risky. There are so many obstacles on the road. No road signs and not reflective lines.

Mhango is so stupid. Take a drive on Zomba road from Maselema to Kachere township and see how badly the road is and yet it is less than 2 years old. Potholes are everywhere and in some sections there is no tar. The so called dual carriage is already history and nobody in the government or from the Roads Authority is taking action on this? Who are you fooling when we know what you are doing? You are watching bad things happening because you are getting a percentage from the same contractors.
