Pay Up Or Stay In The Dark

IT is highly interesting to read that Cenored increased its tariff from $0.80 to $1.18. This is almost 50% more.

How does this increase compare with the maximum increase allowed by the ECB? How does this tariff compare to tariffs in other towns of Namibia, in other regions? It seems that there is no transparency at all regarding the power supply in our country. The right hand does not know what the left is doing, complaints are totally ignored and the citizen simply has to pay. Alternatively, he literally says in the dark and his quality of life is seriously corrupted. Let us be honest if there ever was or is a case for the Anti Corruption Commission then it is the case of power supply and distribution since the ECB and the Reds were established. Not only the ACC but also all the political parties, the Human Rights Association, LAC and, indeed, Nampol, should urgently look into this. No accountability is seen at all, no one knows where the money is going to and the pricing is obviously done on the basis of ‘let’s see how much more the citizen will tolerate’. This all is going against all we can call good administration and many of us call this already the new ‘honeypot’ for the comrades. The present power supply and distribution system will hurt especially Swapo badly at the ballot box, this is certain because the ruling party tolerates the system or is not able to control it. No man right in his mind can see any good in that.P HagerHenties Bay
