The parliamentary committee on natural resources and the environment has commended the judiciary for giving stiff punishments to charcoal burners.
This follows the conviction of eight people to 6 months imprisonment with hard labour each by the Lilongwe High Court.
The eight were arrested for felling trees and using them to burn charcoal.
Chairperson for the committee, Werani Chilenga, said the committee is happy that that the judiciary is giving stiff punishments to people found with forest products.
”We must recommend the judiciary for the good development but we wish the punishments were stiffer than the current ones,” said Chilenga.
He added that there is need for concerted effort to end environmental degradation.
Currently, some parts of the country are experiencing dry spells which experts say have been partly caused by massive cutting down of trees in the country.
Most households in the country collect and use fuel wood as their main source of cooking energy.
Poverty is also believed to contribute to environmental degradation in the country as most people cut trees in order to burn charcoal.
Provide them with jobs
In developed countries electricity works together with gas, making peoples life easily for their needs, and in Malawi’s Urban and rural areas, where is Gas?
As you are pondering now with Tanzanian about gas in our lake Malawi, where is the outcomes?
Secondly is on coal issue that Malawi itself has the cleanest coal in the world found in part of Mzimba district,
When will miming start to produce coal and support energy’s consumption?
You are totally wrong Mtalika with your guys, to silence Innocent Malawians like fools in this regard.
Aforest adziwamanganso angomwa mowa ku Golomoti phili likutha mpaka atsekula minda
That’s the only way for them to find food.

electricity is a problem even here in south africa.lets talk justice,charcoal burning is bad.lets seriously take strong measure since when drought is resulted people insult government.forgetting that charcoal burners are causatives.however imprisonment is good,but just know that they need their own newly built prison since more people are jobless.charcoal burners more than half million in Malawi.

We earn the leaving through burning charcol to sell it then we bring food on the table.gorvement before u bring out this story u must promote something like gas,or paraffin stove and reducing price of electricity.make the availability of this things.i think pipo will stop burning chacorl.
When applying a punishment to any individual state in mind that there is enough service to the low or item u a defending not to be broken.
Charcoal comes to a life line to all Urban a and Rural Malawians due to high electricity tariff of which is the most expensive in the world.
To rural dwellers eish! Shame on you Mtalika,
Do u count on ur supply of energy to the local Malawians?
Bring electricity to local doors so that ur practise of punishing poor Malawians will come to an end.
Blame on yourself Mr. Mtalika that u are a failure for service delivery.
Arresting Malawians on this bill is an assault to their Rights.

Why are they arresting people before implementing other cooking altanetives.
Can every one afford gas, paraffin, and is electricity at any house . Is blackouts over now
I agree with your point.

Blind leadership will always dodge peoples voice like Mtalika’s administration.
Electricity supply (Energy) in Malawi is the worst, most expensive amongst all African countries, African Energy’s Body confirms.
Arresting people won’t change anything to bring back Afforestation absences.
Implement a solution first, that coming with iron fist to the people’s rights.

You can’t stop them from burning charcoal its better to encourage people to plant more trees and this its more effective if you involve students and churchies to boost that programme

Am very happy that now people who are practising this environmental destruction are convicted.We Malawians who lives in rural areas are greatly affected by this malpractice which results to poor rains that in turn comes up with hunger.In the suburb am living in many people burn charcoal but the forest officer does nothing to eradicate this problem,Therefore I would like to ask government that also these people whom you entrusted to foster environmental protection should be taught how they can help us because if we report to them they do nothing.Charcoal burning profits only few people leaving many suffering.Am from Mzimba T.A. Mpherembe.

Is there any other source of reliable energy you stupids?….
This therefore open doors for biogas enterprises to start. Eventually we will hav affordable,effective and effocient alternative source of energy rather rotten escom electricityenergy.

“Who will care for there families”
If we went by that mentality a lot of people would be free. If those people where smart they would have gone to school, if they didn’t have the means and where unlucky, they should’ve been smarter in choosing the “businesses” they do, they are destroying the environment. There action are causing erosion, droughts, flash floods and they are destroying animal habitats. Yes Malawi has failed itself since independence. Yes all Malawians want is quick money. But we’ll never get back on the horse if this goes on. We heavily rely on agriculture, which i find is a bad move coz nature is not that trust worthy, but deforestation needs to stop. Without trees where will your beloved rains come from? What will hold that soil together? God?

Is goverment giving other means of cooking
Can people afford paraffin ?
Can people afford electrcty ?
Do we have electrcty full time ?
Does everyone have electrcty?
If the answer is yes then they can go ahead with that law but if no ,
Why treating people without alternative
It’s no all malawians who can aford electrcty and paraffin
Charcoal burning and no electricity kinda go hand in hand. Deforestation is the major cause of our current drought

What am saying is the should put alternatives of cooking and affordable before arresting people

Think of people who are not working
Their earning is half dollar a day or less. What type of means can they use in cooking their meals.
Think of those who don’t have electrcty in their homes.
To me am able at any level, even gas I can 24/ 7/ 365. But think of those who can’t manage at my level

Thats the only way for student to show that they are not happy with the active of ministry or government
We never are, are we? We expect Malawi to get better in a year, thats impossible. We need a series of good leaders that have the best for the country at heart and us citizens doing our part.

Malawi uses hydroelectric energy, which relies on water, which comes from rain, which can only fall if trees are present, people cutting down trees= no rain= no water= no power= cutting down trees see the vicious circle we’re in?

reduce electricity tarrif so that we all can use electricty for cooking not only you mps. otherwise this shall never end becouse 90% of Malawian use Charcoal becouse we cannot afford electricty.
If government would provide electricity people would not need charcoal,
What does the government expect me to use to cook nsima,
Provide me alternative to charcoal or wood until then what do you expect me and many other people to use who do not have electricity,
