Where is the power promised by the Govt?
DEAR EDITOR,
In June, the government announced with great fanfare that they would be improving the situation by getting excess power from Giftland.

From what I can see, the power poles are sitting waiting to get the excess power, but not actually connected. And yet we continue to suffer the same level of blackouts – if not worse.
Minister Patterson promised better power – but why can’t we get access to the Giftland Mall power if as stated it’s cheaper and ready to be accessed?
I think the media can at least help to bring clarity to basic questions – what is the government waiting for to make this happen?
I’m fed up with blackouts, especially when I drive past Giftland Mall and they still have all their lights on!
Sincerely
Avinash Persaud
