Crazy at all costs!!! this article does not warrant publication. Its a disgrace! Why are the so call Alfonso Chikuni and indeed the Minister of Fincnance insist that the EIA will be done at all cost? And you have the gats that the professor was not responding to a point required by all standards? Usatipweteketse mutu ngati wasowa zolemba shupiti zako

First of all there was no tender. This is a PPP, private public partnership which is still supposed to go thru tendering. EIA, must be done because it is the law. The idea is that Khato will own the pipeline and everything. Lilongwe Water Board will buy water from Khato. There is a catch here which Khato should be mindful of: Lilongwe has an existing water scheme which provides over 80% of Lilongwe’s water needs. It means that LWB may or may not buy from Khato depending on the levels of Kamuzu dam. Other arguments are that it is too… Read more »

The writer of this article is too emotional. He has failed to balance his arguments. What is observed in this article is pure politically oriented assumptions. Firstly, the writer should be reminded that EIA for such mega projects in Malawi is a legal requirement and not an option at all. Public disclosure of the same to the public is another important provision in the EIA guidelines. Much as such projects are important, as has rightly been said, it need not to go through short cuts. If the aw requires for certain procedures to be followed in the implementation process, let… Read more »
