I do respect comments/ observations/opinions made by all readers. We cannot blame the pple from Karonga, nor blame PP or DPP for what happened after the kayekera or the Mchenga coal mine exploration. Learning is a continuous process and u cant run away from it and sitinati, orrrrroooo!! Didnt ppl say that Kamuzu anathamangitsa azungu nsanga?? Mwanena mau amenewa after how many years of independence? More than 4o years!!! Whilst learning, we will lose on the way but also gain knowledge and experience. The Western world wants to see Africa suffer and they cant be happy to hear Mw is… Read more »

Africa is the World’s poorest Continent and,arguably,it is the richest.Although accounting for just 2 percent of global GDP,it is the repository of 15 percent of the planet’s crude oil reserves,40 percent of its gold,and 80 percent of its platinum.Beneath its soils lies a third of the mineral deposits found on earth.But this treasure trove has proved to be not a salvation,but a curse:An observation by Tom Burgis the leading Journalist of our time in his most recent prolific book,the LOOTING MACHINE.If the blind supporters of the oil rigging in Lake Nyasa/Lake Malawi read this highly narrative book about Africa’s evil… Read more »

Mr Botolo is a civil servant who should not be blaming ‘previous governments’. It’s childishness at best. The minister can say the same same thing but not you ps!

This minister is soooo dumb! Yes in oil and gas exploration you sign Production and Sharing Agreement ( PSA) before exploration! So you thought pp goofed by doing that? Who told you that? Am a professional in this area so you don’t go into exploration before signing PSA. Oil production has 3 phases. Exploration, development and production phases and so depending on the outcome the PSA still applies kaya mupeza oil or ayi! Umnuli basi…this is a very risky venture and very expensive so which Co would just start exploration without a PSA? school yake itiyo?

Are we to believe there were no Malawian companies interested in this venture or is it just usual politics? Cayman Island? Really? What are they hiding? To what extent are the disclosures for these companies? How much of the royalties are going back to the ordinary Malawians? Are there any measures in place to avoid a repeat of kayelekela? How about an act of parliament to establish a national trust fund for the country? Please let’s get things right before we dig a bigger hole for the next generation. There’s too much haste for this project.
