We have to obtain our franchise which was scheduled to be held on 9 March . The whole country should refrain from paying the light bill which was increased arbitrarily.

Green energy solar mafia caused this problem Thursday, 16 February 2023 01:26 PM
The green energy mafia is whom caused this problem. Not allowing for more efficient coal and gas plants to be built, so they could have they fair weather, day time only solar panels bringing them income with reduced competition. Only the most ignorant people would believe 24 hour power can be had with green energy sources.

I think privatization is in order, the engineering mafia must be broken. These guy who we paid with our taxes for university, are the biggest problem. The minister is right in increasing tariffs. We need to cut excess staff, then rationalize the business. Then we could reduce the tariff.
