Although UMEME has been sending messages on peoples’ phones that the people of Kampala, Wakiso and Mukono districts among others are to continue facing frequent outages because the ‘Mutundwe’ power station is under restoration, we have learnt that this information is not true.

An impeccable source at statehouse intimated to us that the agreement which the government made with ‘Agreeko’ Power Company has been permanently cancelled. It is agreeko which has been running Mutundwe power sub station.

A source in state house says that the problem of load shedding will permanently end in January 2012. From January 2012 it will be has hard as a donkey to pass into the hole of a needle for power to get off.

This source tells us that the government cut off agreeko because running its generators was so expensive for the taxpayers. We hear each generator of agreeko would consume nine million shillings in general.
