As far as I know, this could be a third feasibility study done on the Shire Valley Irrigation Programme, but construction works never took off. I hope we will get something done this time. But expect no vote from my village in 2019 if the 2018 timeline is not adhered to.

A Malawi!! A Malawi!! A Malawi!! Why do you reporters and your Masters are fond of feeding the Nation with unconfirmed news? If this happens we shall have this! You can’t learn from the previous misfired projects. Whoever is giving out these stories to these journalists must stop this tendency. Much as this “project” is vital to the Nation it must have been kept as a “confidential” matter never to have been put public. These are not political issues where a certain ruling party, as we call them, to gain a mile stone. Governmental issues and Political matters should be… Read more »

I think it is typing error on 42.6 hectares. it is more than 100 000 hectares. The other good news is that the area in question has rich alluvial soils that make it good for any crop including Maize, Solghum, Rice and Sweet Potatoes. It is also important that government Trains more field officers to lead this project. It must not be a failed project like Bwanje Irrigation scheme.

Nyasa Times, is this the only photo of Chaponda in your files? He looks like a corpse in the coffin in this photo. You should consider changing it please. He is your leader and so he deserves respect.

I strongly support the Shire River development project that if completed,would be a catalyst for agricultural economic development.Furthermore,this would stand as the most economic challenge to the most hated OIL RIGGING iN LAKE NYASA/ L.MALAWI.So,Muthalika and his selvires,must halt thinking of destroying and contaminating our most maginificent Lake God has created for Malawians on one hand and the rest of mankind on the other.Economically,Muthalika must have a vision that would resonate to the entire population of our people who have shown dislike for the project and its aftermath.I think Malawians would find that the Shire River Project would turn into… Read more »

Spending $210 million to irrigate only 42.6 hectares? Thebwriter doesn’t understand what he/she is writing about and has no capacity to question such obviously illogical information if this figure indeed came from Government. Malawi is full of incompetent people whether in the media, public sector or private sector. No wonder it’s the world’s poorest country!
