Does it mean that Muthalika does not know the cause of Africa’s stagnation of economic progress? How would Africans industrialised to move out of poverty,while state funds,go to Muthalika’s personal Bank Accounts abroad? Whom is Muthalika trying to hoodwink? Africa will never move out of poverty if the kind of Muthalikas are still in power.African must first destroy these serpents from power.As Muthalika is,his first ambition is to steal as much finances as he can to live a heavenly life with his family in the USA.him and his late brother,came to Malawi to enrich themselves through treacherous means.You can see… Read more »

Fine words Mr President, but what have you been doing for the past four years? In fact what has Malawi been doing since independence 54 years ago! It is all very well talking about industrialization and producing goods for export, but how is Malawi to break into already existing markets? It means producing high quality goods at competitive prices that are in demand elsewhere. The developed world began to industrialize two centuries ago and most of its industry now uses automation and robots for precision and speed of manufacture. How is Malawi going to compete in such a market? Beginning… Read more »

You spoke well Mr president. Unfortunately, that’s all you can manage to do. What you speak and what you do on the ground is different. With due respect sir, we have tried and tested you and we have seen that you have failed to deliver what you promised us in your manifesto. If you were a statesman, you could have just resigned. But since you are not, well, we will wait for May 2019.

By 2031 the EU will have phased out all coal powered stations, as per the paris agreement, which Malawi has also signed. Funding to build enviromentalally friendly power stations (solar,wind, which Malawi has an abundance of) is available from the richer countries to the poorer countries as per the Paris agreement. This agreement with china just puts us more in chinas pocket with very little return, as coal becomes more expensive!!!!!

Which coal is becoming more expensive? Are you still living in 2018 or in the past? In fact, the coal world price has been and is decreasing drastically and even the estimated prices show the same. And here you are talking about 2031 and EU?. I needed a country in 2018 and not EU in 2031. Malawi is far behind from the developed countries on the economic radar. And every country has it’s own industrialization period and no any other country has ever gone through that stage without electricity from coal. My point is, as electricity from coal power plants… Read more »

Did US sign the Paris agreement? The Kyoto agreement of 1997?? Why not??? If you read around you will know the west is just fooling you around. No economy can survive absence of coal. Mpaka pano you still don’t know these are simply talk shows. All rich nations use coal. All poor african nations are told coal is evil. Remain poor that’s what we are. Umbuli ma africans shame on us.

Dude just shut your hole up, even South Africa uses call for energy. what is wrong with you people, do you even know what you want? The question is, is coal going to reduce power black outs, if the answer is yes then i’d say let’s go for it. fuck you man! you don’t love your country.

You are the one who don’t understand the meaning of clean energy. Can US survive on clean energy? You are simply fooled by the whites and dance to their tunes. Wake up Malawi coal is the deal.

Bwana president mfundo ndiye muli nazo but I don’t know where you get it wrong. If you are able to deliver half of what you have just articulated, Malawi will indeed begin to look like our neighbours and if you indeed implement 100% of what you have just said; Malawi will begin to look like like Europe by 2024. What you have said about the youths is true…what you have said about industrialising Malawi is also true. Now, the challenge is for you to sign deals with China wherein they will deliver plant and machinery/equipment for various factories to start… Read more »
