PLEASE DPP and your greedy ministers and officials don’t sell off mining rights to every Jack and chan for sake of kickbacks. Stop looting the country dry before u r voted out in the 2019 elections. This is typical myopic thinking of your political minds. But remember your legacy will live after you. Use this opportunity to redeem yourself if at all you have an ounce of humanity left in you.

How can investors come to Malawi when we still don’t have electricity? You need to bring Akon to come and light up Malawi. That’s what is needed right now. Pumbwa.

Sign those deals that will create a manufacturing state so that we can also export finished products back to China. Sign renewable energy investment deals and access those preferential loan agreements to fund more energy projects, infrastructure etc. don’t sign any deals which will reduce Malawi to a dumping ground for Chinese finished cheap products

How can you be going around the World wooing investor’s and yet the environment in Malawi is not conducive to investments.

Electricity is a massive issue.

Infrastructure is something else.

Look at Kenya.

Kenya is serious on development. Cracking on corruption . They have just signed a deal with USA to boost their electricity. PM Teresa May is heading to Kenya too because they can see how serious they are.

The main development in Malawi is CORRUPTION and shielding corrupt individuals.
Rwanda , Ethiopia, Mozambique are doing fine while Malawi is busy looting for it’s citizens.
