Governance and Human Rights Advocate Undule Mwakasungula has hailed the re-opening of the Marka Border Railway Station as a significant milestone for Malawi.
On Wednesday, the country received 1.2 million liters of petroleum products from Beira, Mozambique, marking a major breakthrough in trade and transportation after 41 years.
In a statement, Mwakasungula says this development offers numerous benefits, including enhanced economic growth and improved lives for Malawians.
He has since urged citizens to support such initiatives, stressing their importance in driving national progress.
“The re-opening of the railway station is a prime example of how infrastructure development can have a direct, positive impact on our economy and the lives of our people,” says Mwakasungula.
According to National Oil Company of Malawi (NOCMA) Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Clement Kanyama, once the railway line is fully completed, Malawi will receive a significant boost in fuel imports, with 10 million liters expected each month.
