This morning the Electricity supply commission has disconnected Electricity at Government building in Blantyre.
The development comes after the Government owes k11.3million non-paid bills as from November 2019 to date.
Operations has come to a stand still in most of the government offices such as Ministry of Tourism, Fiscal police, Ministry of information, the District Council and many departments under the building.
Meanwhile, Government through minister of Information says the disconnection of electric power supply to public offices in Blantyre is in line with President Lazarus Chakwera’s agenda to fix broken systems.
“Those entrusted to run different MDAs must know that time to do things right and correctly has come. The system will not accommodate any inefficiencies.
“Many heads of various government Departments and Agencies were hiding their inability to manage institutions under the broken system,” says government spokesperson Gospel Kazako emphasing that all MDAs will need to pay bills including taxes, water and wages.
“If the management teams cannot do that, let them say so, so that government makes other progressive decisions,” Kazako advises.
