Power To The People

The school still has to truck in it’s water every other day. Recently my school went almost an entire week without paper. The next to go is the power. Not a power-cut please understand, fortunately they are far more infrequent than in my apartment. It’s become a daily occurrence at Sunshine Residents. This is non-payment of an electricity bill.


My Secretary reminded Ato Sin twice last week informing him there was Birr 1,100 outstanding. Ethio-power arrive at lunch-time to cut the power.

I call Ato Sin who informs me that a payment was made of Birr 55 last week. I ask him to get this fixed as soon as possible, but no-one seems to know where the office is. The Photocopy Maintenance Man shows up but can’t do anything as does Head Records Officer who can’t access the computer.

Who knows how long it will take to reconnect and how much they will charge for their reconnection fee?
