Recent Malawi blackouts due to EGECO failure to fuel generators; tough times ahead

BLANTYRE (Malawian Watchdog)—The resurgence of Blackouts Malawians have experiencing over the past two weeks is as a result of failure by the power generation body, EGENCO, to fuel its standby generators, Malawian Watchdog has unearthed.

“The top officials are aware this is not a solution but this was an order from above. So they have no option. The technocrats here are saying that Gensets are not economically sustainable as they consume a lot fuel and this is exactly what is happening” said our source adding that “EGECO is running out of money to buy fuel meaning that the irritating blacks will resume their rightful place in the country.”

“Brace yourselves for tough times ahead,” was the concluding remark from our source.

Malawi will go to polls next year and the current regime has a mammoth task to convince Malawians why they should renew their mandate as their performance to Malawians has been dismal.
