Human rights activist Billy Mayaya has asked President Peter Mutharika to address Malawians over persistent blackouts that have rocked the country.
Mayaya was speaking in Lilongwe during demonstrations that were organised against persistent power cuts.
Speaking to media after giving a petition to ESCOM, Mayaya said President Peter Mutharika should address the country on the issue as it is his role as a head of the state.
“We need the state president to address Malawians on the the issue. We need answers on this because if he will not we will also demand for his resignation as well,” Mayaya said.
He also asked ESCOM to stop blaming low water levels for the power challenges saying in other countries the scenario is the same but they are able to have electricity.
Speaking at the same function , Malawi Health Equity Network (MHEN) Executive Director Joel
Jobe said rampant blackouts in the country are also affecting health services.
Jobe said blackouts that have rocked the country are killing Malawians in the hospitals .
wabadwa dzulo mayaya.
Its too late for Malawians to be addressed on the issue now its time for Him to act up…actions speaks louder….!!!!

My fellow malawians, persistent black outs is a one man problem and cant be addressed within days or months that’s a total lie and those who think like that have a mental problem like billy mayaya and yona lazalo chakwera, to prove that chakwera absconded the work of God joining politics its a sign of mental problem and malawians need not to take this person for granted, u may agree with me people who left brotherhood, priest etc do they behave normally? Malawis problem are deep rooted and they need collective effort inorder to overcome them, they need long term solutions not short terms, pali zabwino pamakhala mabvuto, owotche njuchi udzadya malesa, i believe one day persistent blackouts will be the story of the past like, maize, delayed salaries, membership party cards,shortage of foreign currency etc, may i repeat those who wants to gain political mileage due to power outrage are faluires because they have nothing to offer to malawians but only destructive criticisms
Do not worry Mr President we know the reasons of low water due to our own cutting down trees
No need March against cutting down trees and throwing gabbages in rivers
We don’t want to be addressed. We need electricity at the mom
I think Escom CEO is the one who should have come to address Malawians very well,
He should tell us technically and when is all this going to end.
Ana mpaka kumwalira ku hospa
Addressing people waste of time, he must just resign he has failed Malawians with immediate effect that will be noble thing for Malawians. But since he’s a power hungry man he won’t.
Mental again!
Mangani guys kutown ko bwelani kumuzi kuno
The issue of electricity is not a one man problem let’s be frank here……..nkhani iyi tinailekerera tokha mmbuyomu……..Mr mayaya when did you last plant a tree to conserve the nature!!!!!! Even if the regime changes but this issue will always be there cause its about chilengedwe basi……..let’s conserve nature and all things will be ok apa sizoloza chala munthu mmodzi……….does munthalika generate electricity??????? Or is he going to raise the water levels in shire???????
Danzi ngat mata!!!!!ako!
This is the worst leader Malawi has ever had. Siuja analephera kusova issue ya university ali min of educ. Lero ndiye angathe kusova za magetsi pamene ali bize ku panga za 2019. My foot

U think mr president can climb a radder to electricity pooll and fix electricity no nooooo he cant have sex simple thing what about electricity he fall to fix his personal problems he think that malawians are useless soon he will sell nyasaland and go back to america bt before he go first he must follow his brother his days are numbered
Take Mutharika as a dead person and it’s when you can understand him.. We as living being don’t think like him.. And it’s only fear of some sort or unknown that keep his cabinet ministers not to resign..
Mutharika analonjeza kuthetsa mavuto a magetsi.
Mutharika should not just address malawians. He must provide solutions and not give excuses!
Its only Malawi their is too Match black out
Kkkkkk! Che Mayaya. So Mayaya is becoming mayaya! Shame!
Ask bushili he can do it within 48hours
On blackouts Muntalika is saying ” Chakwera has a mental problem”
nosense
Akawawuzd ma CEO wa escom and engeco
Mayaya ndi chitsiru chachikuru, kenaka apitaso kunseu kuka matcha mvula ikapanda kugwa
Ndiye aziyankhula kuti chani? Iye vuto la magetsi silikumkhudza and zoti kuli blackout tikudziwa ndi ife….
Yes Mr President must say some thing
Za zieeee basi magesi Ali ndi APM escom yili kuti
Poor minds….
Don’t blame the President…….
You don’t even pay electricity bills and yet you are complaining nonsense…..
Bwana mayaya just go to Nkula and see mmene shire waphwera!

He Already Adressed Us, What More Does This Guy Want? Panayambila Iye Peter Kunena Za Magesi Muja Sikanakwane?
These presidents when it comes to campaign they talk this and that so that once they are on that seat they ignore our problems and they look the other side they don’t care at all, the things is we need someone who has a clean sheet and arrest all these mbava and punished
Only if Malawi has a president who cares of the plight of his people, him can do that! With this one in power I very much doubt! No wonder he’s busy attacking Chakwera’s concern of the masses than him swallowing his pride and take a bold approach to ending the blackouts! Malawi is on autopilot cruise!
This issues has mixed with politics Billy his not making any mistake.If Peter fails ask Ruzurous…….
lkkkkkk nde akapanga dress zisitha
Lets kill all monkey around whole Malawi May be magetsizi should be able
za zi!!!!!
Mayaya again????? Mxiew!!!
Ife tikufuna ndi magesi thawi ya mastern samazima
Kumangoti President? Hehehe Malawi Wataika Mbuzi Za Gvt
Kkkkkkkkkkkkkk ife kuno lololo blackout tibvela inu man kkkkkkkkk
Poor minds…..
How come you throw stones to APM concerning blackout!!!! .question the escom!!!!
because he is the president and our leader. we put the presure on him and the rest is his job. people voted him in power to run the country not the admin in ESCOM so of course we can only demand action from APM. travel around the world and u will understand how the goverment works.
Kazonya Gb Kanyasho if u have facts just point them out stop cursing cz that’s my middle name
Why all along there wasn’t electricity problems and who is the president of Malawi and what are his duties,don’t just bark u toothless dog
To my side i think this is not a case muntharika…. this is a case of failing to have visions right from the start…that malawi will grow big as it is now. For me i dont see MCP or Dpp overcoming the issue too soon… no government is perfect. MCP tried us.. Dpp tried us.. UDF failed us. All of them are failures
.. so stop perfecting ur political parties. No one is perfect in politics… thank u my fellow malawian…dont be fooled with these stingy politicians we have… Mavuto sangathe ku malawi
Iweyo unama kunali Joyce sizidafike pamenepa
Wabodza iwe!
2012 of joyce banda … this is 2017….
Do not politicise electricity
Why can’t we politicise electricity?? When we have the head of the country sitting idle watching doing nothing and its affecting the whole country, companies are closing and no one will come and invest in a country where there is no electricity never

Your name is really a blessing but giv me the Real answer does Escom operate under Government or wat or its just an independent Company?
its ok have a lovely night its good to do abit of a research before commenting on issues we r not conversant with
Thanx bro stay blessed in the land of Malawi

Kikikikikikikikikiki sori boss mine was just a question but pipo insted of piking up the question they just started shoutin mwana wamtumbuka Nagona tsono nilibe mlandu anzeru monga inu mwatimasulako
Shadreck, the bulk stops on Mutharika as the CEO of Malawi.
Shadreck, as a quasi-governmetal institution, gvt has direct say over escom that’s why the president appoints its board.
kaya amene amapanga mvula agwese a escom at madz avuta nde inuso mukudxiwa ximenex nde kaya mufuna unyex kubafa musova ifeso mages tilinawo but apa tingovomerexa pot masiku sakoma onse ndipo palibe chomwe ungapange osakumana nd vuto day ina.
Thanx guys vuto ndi water Levels therefore Ivn His Exellency Mtharika can not do anything Unless if his gat power to make it rain then all shall be well with Malawi thats my idea too
Mutharika is the president and escom is a statutory company and he has a hand in there
Martha is he the problem or water levels which is which
He is the problem can’t u get it
Iwe shadreck stop insulting others. The buck stops at Mutharika’s feet. The excuse of water levels does not hold. Hydro is not the only way to generate electricity.
Am not insulting boss,i thank u for the answer how i wish u came early Lets wait he will fix He is also a human like us Lets be patient with him Othewize we can tok tok and tok No one will manage this situation
#Shadreck, if you were CEO somewhere the company wouldn’t grow! Have we noticed today or yesterday the fall of water level in shire river? Government should have fast alternatives
Kkkkkkk aaaaaah bro the first person mist my question mpaka zafika apa Ine kukhala leader sikuti im an i land no. things could move veri well with the pipo am sorrounded with infact this loadsheding hasnt started with Malawi Unless otherwise
Hahaha! You did insult, calling someone ulimbwa sana. Anyway let it be bygones. This electricity blackout issued was promised to be resolved by him. There are electricity projects the previous government was supposed to implement with the Chinese government but Mutharika sat on them. Just last week the Chinese ambassador complained of lack of urgency and interest from government to implement the project. Tapali fyakutekanya apa
Hahahahahahaha kachipusumukafye he said ndine mbuzi boss me i dont insult zingavute zitatani i dont insult
And who can come and invest in a country where there is no electricity?? Companies are closing and the economy will be going down more and u think that’s funny?
Am not takin it for granted The vuto is that If His exelleny Peter wont say anything kuli Escom the Malawi will be in blackout till 2019 ryt?no one has an idea except him Anyway we will wait Me as well am running a ka Barbershop just to hav something for my family am the worst victim koz a gat no any source xcept babashop it doesnt mean am happi i was just askin madam thanx
Next year malawi must be on number 200 plus, that’s on global bussiness index. With electricity black outs as being major contributing factor to that.
He is goin to fix he is able to see our comments this is called social media All in all he shud fix fast before things get to worse
hahahaha,Escom plus mthalika failed to solve the problem of electricty,mpakano kuikapo bushuri ndamene akuthandizen,shame on you malawi
Kikikikikikikikikikikiki muzasova nokha tidikira!
Fine, He Must Adress It Coz I,as Ict Offecer At My Company Am Nowadays No Longer 2 Operate Coputer Due 2 Blackout And Am Not Keeping All Data Applications
Tanvera madandulo yanu tizasova bwana veri soon
Its a shame to know that among us Malawians we still have individuals like you who government can play trix with without noticing….how ignorant
None of the above is ignorant.ignorance begins with WATSON Why cant WATSON comment we reply?infact Watson was sapoz to answer the question it is clear Watson is out of his Mind so we forgiv Watson simple
I dont trust malawi activist. Zanampopa za alubino anali phwii poti zinalibe chikwama. Amafuna za funding ngati zamathanyula, zamagesi, etc
Peter Mutharika is a bad leader and he don’t care of his people ,he is there like a stamp
Why Is He Stupid? Come With Facts When Commenting
Even u also your head is like an Empty backet u don’t know what u r talking about? Why is he stupid? Whom are u asking? Think before u write and even a Dog can come with the facts may be try to ask it if u hav got
He is like a statue for real no action at all unless u are lomwe and his bootlickers
A Vitu,inunso muti chani apa dont care ndiye kuti chani?adakakhala kuti sasamala bwenzi titaona za 2002 njala phwanga yoopsye kma wagwira ntchito anthu tapulumuka kudxera mwa iye Mulungu atampatsa mzeru ndiye u bad ulipati kumayankhula zoti zimange dxiko osati kupasula

Yes, he should

Mayaya udakasutabe chamba?
Let the rich enjoy,the poor people will decide come May 2019
Nampopayu sakuva za munthu!! as if sazwa ubwino wa magesi.
and he needs to answer very well if wat #Chakwera said was lie
i encourage Mayaya to remove Genset at state house so that the APM should know the pain of brackout and the amount of candles
Sure
Billy Mayaya has the power to do that??… How old are you, five??
yes true dominick for wht you ve said
Idiot
how many brain cells do u have Dominic? Try to reason without being partisan…
Alomwe swearing and cursing look at them ng’ooo
we dont need an adress,just action to guarantee us a miserable 10 hours uninterrupted power,is this too much to ask?
Mayaya is stupid, these are just underground politics! A real Malawian can’t ask why there is black out
maybe you are Mr… right now I don’t even know how will I pay my rent… blackout is disease it needs vaccine
Ur number one stupit plus omwe anakutumawo plus piter wakoyo
Ignorance makes you to say so, it’s ESCOM not ESCOP
And your Peter is involved as ESCOM is a statutory company and he has a handy in there stop playing dummy
Fact @ martha
Fact @ martha
He is still asleep, how can he address us???
He has run out of ideas. He can’t say anything, he is now aged, the problem is too big for him to solve
We all know the problem, Mr Mayaya if you need more information from the president, call him on 0888449090
Can you give us the solution
osauka alibe mau. Escom chitani mwakufuna kwanu coz zitsiru ndiye mwatisandutsadi
ife tikuziwa kale vuto lake no need to address us…..
