Mota Engil employees who are doing rehabilitation works at Nkula A Hydropower Plant have gone on strike demanding salary increment from their bosses.
According to reports, a meeting between representatives of the workers, Mota Engil management and labour officers took place to end the matter but to no avail.
One worker who asked for anonymity said the employees will not back down until their demands are met claiming they have been complaining for a long time.
However, the Electricity Generation Company (EGENCO) has said that the strike will not in any way have an impact on power generation in the country.
EGENCO public relations officer Moses Gwaza told Malawi24 that people should not worry since the strike will not worsen the electricity situation in the country.
“The strike has not affected power generation in the country in any way. As you are aware Nkula A was taken out of the grid to pave way for the rehabilitation, modernisation and upgrading under the MCC compact.
“So the strike is for the guys working on this, so no effect on power generation and there will be no impact on the current electricity situation,” said Gwaza.
Downing tools is not a nyc solution ,why dont the workers and employers come to a round table discussion ,and reach a consensus to map the way forward ,hiking their renumeration package.

ISSUES OF POWER OUTRAGES COULD SEEM AS IF THE WHOLE ESCOM WORK TO POWER GENERATION WAITING TO SWITCH OFF POWER AND ON TO THE NEEDED AREAS ONLY !
So even if you hear are downing tools,may be the next assumption would be power on since who’s gona switch off!
My thought!!!
strike for what kkkkk black out evry day is strike wat dou want from us kkkkk keep on strike we already adapted with black out
Time to fix problems we fixed both sides to Make things level apo biiii mavuto sangathe hear their voice and wait the possive resuilts
I think the Traditional Leaders are going to Nkula again to explain the strike to malawians. Only if we have chiefs who care about their people
As the drama continues someone to school me here these guys they are working giving us blackouts now they have down their tools should we expect the end of blackouts?
Kkkkkk I think so
Hahahaha it’s getting exciting
Eeeeh kkkkkkk ife sizidzatithera lol
Give them what they want and see if the problem will be solved but if the problem will still persist then fire every one and bring in onother team
Good idea Mr Kumwenda
READ FIRST THEN COMMENT THEY ARE CONTRACTORS UNDER 1 COMMON DENOMINATOR MOTOR ENGIL. THEY ARE NOT ESCOM EMPLOYEES.
Yeah that’s good timing guys tsoka la nzako ndi mwayi wako use this opportunity it comes once after decades
Ku Soche Tidaiwala Zozimazima Magetsi! Tisamale Abale Nthawi Ija A Siznamutole Ayambaso Mulimbi Akusaka Khriss
This now explains why we still have power in our homes today

Yes I agree with you. It will not change anything. You are not generating electricity, and we are staying in dark ages, nothing will change even if they can stay for 20 years downing their tools.
