Khato Civils P6 Billion Lake Malawi Project Goes Ahead

Contrary to widely publicised narrations that Khato Civils and Malawi Water Board were flouting Environmental Impact Assessment(EIA) procedures in the implementation of the  US $500 million 120km Lake Malawi  water project  the supreme court of Appeal in Malawi on Friday  dismissed such fears and allegations as hogwash and said it was clear from the contract between the developer and the contractor that the EIA had been included and that the fears of the Law Society or whosoever interest it represent was misplaced.

 Malawi’s highest court,  the Supreme Court of Appeal on Friday cleared the path for Khato Civils to go ahead full throttle with its P6 billion  Lake Malawi water project which had been going at a snail’s pace due to a High Court battle launched by the Law Society of Malawi that challenged the execution of the project on account of  the lack of Environmental impact assessment.
