A prisoner’s rights activist has expressed disappointment over frequent power cuts in prisons.
According to the activist, Victor Mhango, the power outages in the country’s prisons are leading to inmates sleeping on empty stomachs.
Mhango who is also Executive Director for the Centre for Human Rights Education, Advice and Assistance (CHREAA), wondered why Electricity Supply Corporation of Malawi (ESCOM) does not make prisons one of its priority areas.
He said prisons are supposed to be getting power day in and day out as is the case with most hospitals.
He has since asked authorities to take another step on the matter claiming that the conditions in most prisons are a violation of prisoners’ rights.
Most prisons in Malawi migrated from the use of firewood after the European Union bought them electric pots.
mwasowa zokamba ati? Ma Blackout ndiachilendo,,, asiyeni ma activists’wo apse ntima ..LOL!!!!!!
Most of Malawi’s electrical power problems can be solved for less than 4 million US-Dollars!
Company FYMAS in Denmark can offer 40 MW of electrical power from below mentioned 24 generator sets – these high quality generator sets with low working hours has been serving as backup power plants for the Danish (Europe) government.

I think the gvt lacks common sense,the large sum of cash in buying generators ,should have been diverted to construct a dam and making a hydro electric power station,along the Shire river to boost power,now think of what cost will be incurred in maintaing /refueling those so called gen sets,once damaged they will require spare parts from the manufacturer,black outs will still remain order of the day,we c ant run away from it,and hospitals industries even tertiary institution need power too.
