The country’s power suppliers, Malawi Electricity Supply Corporation of Malawi (Escom) has in the last 12 months lost an estimated K1 billion through vandalism of its property. Escom Public Relations Manager, Innocent Chitosi has revealed that vandalism of the organisation’s property, such as transformers, meters, towers and cables cost the utility company an estimated K1 billion from June 2020 to date. Chitosi deplored such behaviour saying it derails the organisation to provide quality service delivery to the clientele.
