Mutharika tells North Malawi more developments in the offing: Mzuzu International Airport project starts January 2018
President Arthur Peter Mutharika has assured people in northern region that his government is geared to start the construction of Mzuzu International Airport in January, 2018.
President Mutharika was speaking Saturday evening at Katoto Roundabout on his arrival in the region where he is expected to carry out a number of official duties.
Mutharika said it is the wish of his government that Mzuzu City should have a modern international airport, saying it will open up the northern region.
“I have directed the Minister of Transport and Public Works to make sure that the construction of Mzuzu modern international airport should start without any excuses by January next year,” he said.
In July this year, President Mutharika visited Lusangazi where the airport will be constructed to the tune of U$20 million (approximately K14.6 billion) from Exim Bank of China.
On the construction of Mombela University in Mzimba District, President Mutharika said he was happy that ground work has started.
“We have a number of development programmes here in the North and I’m happy that some of them such as Nkhata Bay–Mzuzu Road is about to be completed.
“I will make sure that I go there and see it [the road] before going back to Lilongwe; and, from there, I will announce another good news for the people of the North,” he said.
The President also said the government will renovate Mzuzu University Library that was gutted by fire a few years ago.
Apart from Katoto Roundabout in Mzuzu, President Mutharika also spoke to people who gathered at Mponela in Dowa and at Jenda in Mzimba.
Campaign yayambika!!! What is the use of a modern airport when people live on less than adollar a day? When they can’t afford the next meal, when hospitals have no medications, when they have erratic electricity, when the President is clueless, we don’t need a fancy airport, give us our basic needs first !!!

That’s good bwana president. When leaving power in 2019, things will be good for our brothers in the North. Everyone knows you are leaving and you know yourself mukapume mwakula a mdala inu…
Jamax u must be mad..what job is this useless leader of ours doing? Akutizunza ndi ma blackout.. Ana can’t watch TV..welders ndi ometa akulephera kugwila ntchito.DPP 2019 out…I promise u that..useless bastards
Now tell me if pipo are to judge who is mad someone calling himself 2019 and myself as Jamax – who is suppose to be taken to the mental Hospital kkk ofcourse 2019 must be mad kkkkk if the worse goes to the worst then only a Dog can be given that NAME (2019) What am trying to say here is this, tiyeni tisiye mau onyozana tonse sitingakhale ndi chisankho chofanana never!!!! – but we are ALL created from the image og God & we all belong Malawi – therefore let’s respect each other.
Uyu ndi mtesi,pathological liar,i just don’t know what to believe .
Whatever you think of him but APM has great plans fo this Nation and because you are disrespecting him as a chosen leader of this Nation then just wait and see what God will do for him – 2019 is coming – ask me if you are capable of competing with God. Bringing shame to a leader that was cjosen by God is the same as being arrogant to God himself – God is God and he is never mocked – the Bible tells us to give respect to our Leaders because they are chosen by God himself, now quote my words and see what shame he will bring to you, right now you can insult and mock him the way you feel like but remember your own words will one day turn back kkkk!! why??? there’s God in heaven who’s ways, thoughts and plans are quiet different from ours. But if I were you I could have humbled myself and let God do his will. The 5 -1 you are talking about is nothing completely nothing for you to be boostiful of .. open up your eyes and see – we ve got 18 more months to go and anything can happen in between kkk!!!! this is politics my dear you better stop talking nonsense.
I will lose nothing if I trust in my Lord because he himself is the rewarder unto all those that seeks his face deligently day and night. May God bless Malawi.
Mpedzepepedze wa 5-1 ukuvutabe. Malawians have agreed to vote you out no matter what lies you tell us.
Abwana Taonga vitukuko ivo,but finish ka nseu kochoka pa mzimba boma kotulukila pa raiply.jenda embangweni road.ekwendeni kafukule mpaka mzimba.miseu iyi nja kale.Ndale sindikambapo ine, I know of only 2 seats where DPP will win. Obama and vuwa Kaunda will win.enawo bwana asakunamizeni.
How promises your brother and u have made tog Northerners? 5 universities were going tog be built said Bingu. How many so far? I have not forgotten What u said No Tonga will be a president ” I will be stupid to vote for u. Bingu said Northerners votes did not make different. Northerners May be stupid but not fools. In 2014 elections Northerners voted for PP. But elections were riggid. No Likoma/Chizumulu voted for DDP but it was lied that they voted for DDP. Actualy boxes were slown in the lake. My vote is MCP.
ndifuse nao. lilongwe izatsekedwa/? nde anthu azizacoka ku blantya kukakwerera ku mzuzu??????????????????????? eh koma nde chinaism ivutatu apa. yapamwamba yokhala ndi cikheche komaso air condition. ee wolumala mpaka kunyamulidwa, komaso kuterera mu kolido,kununkha mathukuta , mmmmhu
Can you please show some sense of maturity before you write a comment to the public sometimes your own writing can show how much foolish you are – but I thin you can do better than this my dear nsanai kugwe whatever it is!!!!!!!!!!
The Muzuzu is constructed with Germany aid and the work is supervised by them. That is why the road is so well done.
This is one of best road in Malawi. I believe roads should be constructed by those who aid the projects and just handled over to Malawi government. In This way we avoid bad roads done by Un qualified construtors and Un finished roads because money go into pockets. Peter things Northerners dont know who are financing the project. He wants to get Credit because He is a leader. We know what could have happened If Germany had given money to government. Its Germany who are very against corruption.. If Malawi should develope dont give money to government. Do the job handle project. We shall have good roads in Malawi.
Koma ichi? Mpedze pedze was 5-1 sunakuthere? Tufuna magetsi first not airport. How many will use airport as compared to magetsi. Prioritize well when investing shupit iwe.
Ok inu a Phideria mukufuna anene kangati za magetsi???? Mukufuna achite kuvula kaye nde mumve??? Ask first before you write – ngati inu munazilembera malire kuti simuzakwera ndege moyo wanu wonse then it’s better to keep quiet. Why not leave the President do his job he has a lot of things to do across the Nation,,,,,,,even if magetsi akhalepo you still fail to manage your own house out of 30 days 20 days imakhala ya blackout in your house because you fail to top up your electricity Bill. Please you should also learn how to priotize your comments and learn to respect your Leaders you must be a shame to this Nation.
AYAMBAPO CAMPAIGN1 kkkkk! they just want to break the ground and pretend they are building the airport. AFTER ELECTIONS AZASIYA ZIMENEZO.
Development must be strategically implemented and not through presidential directives. After all its Chinese paying for the airport and some taxes from we northerners.
olo wanthu wa nkhatabay central atanthila doom mmaso ndi mkamwa, Vuwa will never win.
a pulesidenti wakudya nawo basi ndikwapusika maboza.
