Summary
The suspension of the electricity connection policy, which had been subsidising new applications has made new electricity connections almost impossible dropping by 90 per cent since December last year, writes
Christine Kasemiire.
Electricity poles are molding somewhere in Isingiro, south west of Kampala. It had been hoped that there would be means to extend power to households.
But now that the electricity connection policy (ECP), which had been subsidizing connections was suspended, the poles are greying.
It is not isolated to Isingiro, it is happening elsewhere after government in December amended the policy, which required all customers seeking to be connected to fully meet the connection bill.
