Africa-Press – Malawi. Malawians on social media are rebuking President Lazarus Chakwera’s Tonse government plans to construct Orton Edgar Ching’oli Chirwa’s Mausoleum in Nkhatabay.

“I pray for an immediate cancellation, investigation, Hema Construction profile and experience published and whether the family has been consulted on the contractor,’’ observes Kambeta on his facebook wall.
The citizen claims that at the date of BID OPENING Hema Construction Limited’s price was MK998,485,643.60 and the contract was awarded at a price of MK1,401,128,524.20, a development which is posing many questions than answers.
Idrissa Ali Nasser adds that an NGO called Good Neighbors has used MK200 million to build a whole new school in Kasungu plus four good houses for teachers.
“MK1,401,128,524.20 for a Mausoleum? We are led by a Government of corrupt, of shame, of less thieves, sadists and Satanists,’’ he says.
Mpamba social media user chips;. “The tombstone is a nonsense to be constructed amid economic misery. It’s a death-trap everyday people are losing their lives.
“We need real developments in Nkhatabay bwana, we did not ask you to build a tombstone, give us double- lane bridges, nice schools with classroom blocks, please”.
