Massive and unprecedented price increases. This is not only for electricity. Check you supper market receipt. Signs of an economic crash.

Sadly none of these mega project will generate dollars. The only eat dollars. There is no investment on industry or technology. High uniformed labour cost. Bloated unproductive spending.

Taxing the people for the govt's inefficiencies is not the remedy. Privatize the CEB and other loss-making corporations.

rather than passing the increase to ordinary people should not give free electricity to public organizations. Or at-least recoup the debt on government organizations.

government strategy is to encourage corruption and then recover the corruption expense from the public.

So there goes to poor man the "Lokka" was talking about. Now the IMF dictates the terms. Waiting for comments (if any) from the patriots.

It is not IMF. Someone has to pay the loans for the mega projects. Hope those will bring in dollars in future. Otherwise people are toast and the ones who initiated them will be happily retired probably in another country

NWSDB said that they arranged to reduced cost by increasing productivity and arresting leaks with unauthorised tapping. The result was no water bill hike. Why can't CEB do the same with eradicating corruption inside ( I know their estimation for new connection etc very very high)
