Company (SEEPCO), amongst others, communities in the constituency lack electricity supply, which is impeding their socio-economic progress.

The lawmaker expressed worry that: “the project has experienced significant delays and has been stalled for over a year due to price variations, and despite formal requests by the contractor for additional funding to complete

the project, it still remains uncompleted as all efforts have proved futile.”

 

 

He stressed the need to prioritise the electrification project in the

constituency to ameliorate the untold hardship the people have faced despite their contribution to the power sector.

The House on adoption of the motion, mandated the Committee on Power to ensure that bottlenecks mitigating against the completion of the project are effectively addressed and the project is completed in due time.
