Why are they not concerned about oil drilling in Lake Malawi? That wipe out every wild life in the lake plus water will become undrinkable and not safe for everyday use.
That is a welcome development. But I have two issues on this.
One, you have delayed so work with speed for the approval and implementation of that regulation.
Second, look also into other concerns which scientific evidence points to the fact that Dwangwa Sugar Corporation’s fertilisers and chemicals from Ethanol Plant are destroying fish food (planktons) in the lake. Investigate on it and if necessary pounce on them.
Current (2018) information on the effects of Dwangwa chemicals into the lake ecosystem is available. However, what lacks is the enforcement part by both the department of Fisheries and other relevant ministries. Even if the Act will empower the Fisheries department to fine heavily the Fishers, what other sustainable livelihoods do these fishers have? Remember the lake is also a political ground, I see no leader willing to close it, if so it will mean no votes.. Nanga what about oil drilling, water channeling for irrigation, water channeling for Lilongwe city? mavuto ngosayamba..
