“I went to EKDC office out of frustration to find out why I pay for Band A and yet zero electricity, and on getting there, I got moved by compassion as the workers were literally fanning themselves, no electricity.
The lady that attended to me said, ‘My neighbours shame me for working here, yet I have no light.’” And yet some FOOLS still seem to think everything is okay in this country,” he wrote.
