Malawi Congress Party (MCP) Member of Parliament for Salima north-west Dr Jessie Kabwila has implored on government to make a decisive...
The presedent is the last person to tell us to be patient with elecriticity problem. This guy and the majority of the cabinet ministers have been around over the last ten years. Life is becoming worse in their hands. How can a country fail to provide electricity to less than 10% of the population? No electriciity, children still learning under trees, 2-4 children sharing a bed in hospitals, no food for the majority of the popukation.
The leaedrship has to be serious. STOP stealing the money and invest properly. Please guys stop shaming us.
Lost trust in DPP. How long has it taken the President to realise the Electricity problem. People have died in hospital’s , businesses not to mention. Now after by Election shock you realise there is a problem. We cannot be taken for granted anymore. Come 2019 others will take over. Enough is enough. We are tired of business as usual.
Crashes in a meeting and later urge for patience? What type of leadership is this! “Rush and wait” the real theme of our current administration. No “hard work” bla bla…., the technocrats at ESCOM blame the politics for their failure and now suddenly the government accuses ESCOM? ?? But patience??? I
Consult Dr. Joyce Banda on this one. She had this problem under control during her time.
There were power outages when I was last in Malawi in 2011. That is SIX years of being patient! How much longer must Malawians be patient? Is that all the President has to offer, ‘Be patient”. Does he seriously expect to be re-elected in 2019?
This president should stop fooling people that he is genuinely concerned with daily blackouts perennially facing Malawians. In fact he just hears about blackouts, he doesn’t even physically experience such. How many times have Malawians been COMPLAINING of abuse of state funds, corruption by ddp thieves both in government sectors and state owned enterprises yet the president (without remorse faking concern here) shields these ddp thugs or just looks away. Malawians should just ignore such insincere and insensitive dramatization by peter. This is just candid political posturing after suffering a political TOK in the recent by-elections. This is the guy… Read more »

So this meeting did not yield something tangible enough to revert power blackout. Now my advice to government is let us learn from what other countries such as Zambia, RSA, Kenya etc did to iron out this problem. All they did in short is to import power from other countries and we can do the same both as a short and interim measure.
Escom/egenco warned the nation in June this year than since the lake level was much lower than at same time last year we were likely to experience much more prolonged power outages this year. And just to remind one another at the pick of the blackouts last year in December we could go more than 48 hours without electricity. Some took heed of Escom advice and put in place standby power sources like petrol/diesel generators. But many have found out that they can’t afford to run on generators and have abandoned them to join the crying poor. It is thus… Read more »
Whether Malawians are a patient or passive lot I cannot tell. What I can tell though without fear of contradicting myself is that Malawi is so easy to rule. Our leaders easily get away with every rubbish they throw unto us. They cash on political, tribal and regional divisions existing in this country. Whether you are a DPP sympathizer or not, a Lhomwe or not, a Southerner or not, we are all being affected by these persistent blackouts. I am surprised at the lengths some people will go to defend the indefensible not based on facts but based on political,… Read more »
