LILONGWE-(MaraviPost)-Malawi is expected to receive 92 fuel trucks carrying over 3.2 million litres of fuel a development which President Peter Mutharika’s government says will help ease the country’s persistent fuel shortages and stabilise the national energy supply chain.
Presenting a ministerial statement in Parliament on Monday, the Minister of Energy, Jean Mathanga, announced that government has finalised an agreement with international suppliers to deliver the consignment over the coming weeks.
“This fuel import arrangement is part of our broader strategy to ensure Malawi maintains adequate reserves and that no sector grinds to a halt due to fuel scarcity,”
said Mathanga.
Lawmakers from both sides of the House welcomed the development, though some raised concerns regarding transparency and accountability in the procurement process.
Mathanga reaffirmed that all procedures had been duly followed and that the importation deal fully aligns with Malawi’s fuel reserve policy and international procurement standards.
The development is expected to ease pressure on industries, transport operators, and ordinary citizens who have endured months of intermittent fuel shortages across the country.
