Energy minister Newton Kambala said the government will soon be implementing phase 9 of Malawi Rural Electrification Program (Marep) to light up the whole country.
Kambala: In the absence of a credible management, the fuel supply tender be cancelled
Kambala was responding a question from back-benchers in parliament.
He told the House that the government is doing a survey on the implementation of the Marep phase 9 and the rolling out should start after the exercise.
“Currently, engineers are conducting surveys in various areas where phase 9 is supposed to be implemented.
“Furthermore, the government received bids last year, which is one of the processes of procuring materials for the program. So, once the materials have been delivered, the exercise will begin at once,” he said.
