Stop giving false hopes—MCP

Malawi Congress Party (MCP) spokesperson on finance Alexander Kusamba Dzonzi has described the Mid-year Budget Review plans by the government as a load of false hopes to Malawians.

Responding to the Mid-year Budget Statement Minister of Finance, Economic Planning and Development Goodall Gondwe presented to the House on Friday, Kusamba Dzonzi observed that government did not indicate how much money is needed for the Kammwamba Coal-fired Power Project and it was clear that no funding had been identified for the Blantyre to Chileka or the Mzuzu City dual carriageways.

“We would like to warn the government against over committing itself; they should stop giving false hopes to Malawians. Lilongwe is facing pressure of water shortages and there are high expectations that the issue will be resolved through this project. We don’t want to reach the situation of Cape Town,” said Kusamba Dzonzi. n
