Mutharika says Nsanje Port project on course, ready in 2 years
President Peter Mutharika has said the Nsanje Inland Port – one of the flagship projects in the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) 2014 manifesto—will become functional in the next two years.
Mutharika said on Thursday in Nsanje during after the ground breaking ceremony of Nsanje–Marka Road.
President Mutharika said that he will fulfill his late brother Bingu Wa Mutharika’s vision by making sure that the inland port, which has already cost the taxpayer billions of kwacha, is completed.
“Every community deserves better developments such as good roads. Let me also say that regardless of how long it will take, Nsanje inland port will be realized. There were some technical challenges but I promise that in the next two years, the dream will be realized. It was a vision of my brother and it will remain my vision too,” said Mutharika attracting ululation and great applause.
Currently, the Nsanje Port is a swampy fishing ground for locals. It is a neglected site depicting an abandoned dockyard with the Shire River choked by weeds.
Mutharika said the DPP government has started developing the Lower Shire by constructing roads like the Bangula-Nsanje and Nsanje-Marka Roads among others.
“No previous government can claim that they constructed the tarmac road in the lower shire apart from the DPP government. Today, we have launched the construction of the remaining part of M1 Road, which is Nsanje–Marka road,” he said.
Mutharika promised to construct secondary schools and community technical colleges in the district.
“Apart from constructing five secondary schools, one in each constituency, I will also construct health facilities, state of the art stadium, technical college in each constituency and will also drill new boreholes. So, for those developments to happen, you need to vote wisely come May 21,” urged Mutharika.
The DPP has three main rivals in this election—Malawi Congress Party (MCP), which is in alliance with former president Joyce Banda’s People’s Party (PP) and Freedom Party (PP), Vice-President Saulos Chilima’s UTM and the United Democratic Front which has Minister of Health Atupele Muluzi as its torchbearer.
In 2014, DPP made a 36.4 percent surprise presidential votes win from the opposition, beating incumbent president Joyce Banda whose People’s Party (PP) came third. MCP came second, with a difference of about 400 000 votes.
Kodi mukuwona ngati amalawi ndiopepera eti? mwaiwala kuti in 2014 mudalonjeza kale kuti mumanga doko limeneli? sitikufuna tituluse mawu okwiya titengeni bwino. zipaseni ulemu. alowe eya apange mbali yawo inu zakukanikani basi.
Osa jambulitsa pa INLAND PORT po, kuchita manyazi?
iwe pitala khala chete
What are you smoking Petulo? We are not fools wamva?
Nashil Pichen Kazembe in 1980 sang a song “Unkhalamba Simatenda”. Koma ndi matenda. Malemu Pulofesa ground breaking pano? Bakili Muluzi used to bring trucks of maize and later withdrew them. This old thief is moving with tractors and other equipment to deceive people. The ex-convict in America thinks the Nsanje people are fools. Bingu said Nsanje would be a city. Is it a city? Please don’t take Nsanje people for a ride. Boot out this thug who came with cadets to beat you up. The Malemu Pulofesa Arthur Peter Mutharika mwakula to lie. Kapumeni.
Shithole gvt,,,president and goat
Senseless Leader ever,killer,chief thief, wabodza lamkunkhuniza, failure….
Accept you are too old for that post pack and go let the fresh, energetic,wise,God fearing Leader (Dr SK Chilima) take over .
God has rejected you don’t force it you will face His wrath face to face.
Technical College in each constituency Koma zoopsa ndiye anthu kunkumaombera m’manja that’s foolishness
I don’t know why is MEC headquarters based in BT and yet MEC officials are always on field in LL where almost all of their stakeholders are based. Kufuna kudya ma allowances kumeneko ? MEC must simply relocate to LL and save our taxes from dyera la ma allowances la MEC officials.
It’s funny how your honorable late brother’s dream gets the recognition to be continued during your panic moment. Inu Nde sitikuvotelani. Mwabetsa madala. The money stolen by the DPP through corruption itself can fund this entire project with surplus left…
aaaah koma akulu awa bodza, too little, too late.. zitayeni bwana small bingu.. Chakwera wafika kale.. lachiwiliri boma! MCP boma! HI5 basitu.
Mr President who ever advised you to lie like this is making you more unpopular. You had better not mention anything to do with this Nsanje inland port and let things to do with it unfold itself. It is only a fool that can believe anything about the opening of this dream your brother had after so many years of waiting.
mukuchedwatu kalembetseni mu kawundula wa anthu okalamba opuma pantchito asanatseke!
APM is just another bad and mad PRESIDENT produced in MALAWI
He thinks malawians are foolish and not educated

ULENDO UNO MAVOTI MWASEMPHANA NAWOTU, A CHAKWERA AKUTENGA MAVOTI AMBIRI AMBIRI AKU LOWER SHIREKO.
Whatever this old man has started smoking is not helping at all. Izizi anakamba ndipo adakamba, akanangosiyira pomwepo basi! ,Malawians are tired of his lies, he’s too old for that.
Iwe Mutharika, sife zitsilu kuti uzingoseweletsa. Olo uname bodza lalikulu bwanji, iweyo zakukanika ndipo tikuchotsa next week. Mark my words. Tenganani ndi Vice wakoyo yemwe munapusitsana za after 5 years.
Enter Chakwera
inept leader, senseless, cheater, liar, thief!!! in 2014 he promised Malawians the same thing, Is he taking us for granted?
That concrete slab has been there for how many years??????
U buying porsh cars and boats u snorting idiot granny
koma zilikoliko
Izi ndiye zabodza tsopano
Akulu inuyo muzikapuma uko. Muzikadya ndalama zanu zili kwa America zija. Because if you loved your country, you would have brought your money and make investments here. Koma munaoneka kuti mungofuna kuwadyera aMalawi basi. Tikuuzilenitu. Tatopa nanu. We dont need you, we dont want thieves. You have a lot of money in America but you continue to still from Malawians, we can’t take it anymore. You are done this election really.
This is a total lie Mr. President. You made the same promise in your 2014 manifesto about opening the pot. Your brother Bingu is not. You are totally different. He was indeed a visionary leader and not you. Please Nsanje people RISE UP. Don’t be cheated with Mark-Nsanje road and opening of the port. Those are unfulfilled campaign primises. He cant do it. He (Mutharita Peter) has been neglecting Nsanje since he took office. Lets vote for someone who can develop Nsanje. Adyabuwa takwana nawo. Tchegula makutu na masoene. Madokotala, apilisoli kunsanje timbaafunambo tayu ife? Iyaaa. Munthu ungakwatike na nguwo kapena mabeseni awiri a mipilamanga basi mwati anafunefe ngweneyi? ZITHE ZIMENEZI. TIKAVOTE MWANJERU
Surely Malawians we have to think twice about this man. He is not the right person to take us where we want. He is not good enough. He is not
Ndayamba nseru kumva za APM
Let us do a ‘STEALING ANALYSIS’. the rest will fall into place.
Dpp has failed, inland port talk from 2006 to 2019 nothing done. Its smart to just say the truth to the the villagers hat the port is a white elephant project and Mozambique isn’t going to let us sail thru the zambezi.
