Dear Akua, Thanks for your entreprenueral skills and innovative suggestions,but if resources were permitting that would be the way to go and that gives the simple logic that "YOU BUY ELECTRICAL APPLIANCES SAY SOLAR PANNELS FROM NEIGHBOURING COUNTRIES EXPENSIVELY INEXCHANGE FOR SELLING CHEAP ELECTRICITY TO THEM OR BUY EXPENSIVELY FROM A NEIGHBOUR AND SELL CHEAPLY".My other questions are where are we waiting for this electricity,from who,for who, by who?.Just asking for the nth time if this electricity is in the ''yellow bus'' where is it destined to or how far is it from Westnile?does it need some fuel top up to deliver this long awaited favour to westnile or the driver is lost and needs some re-direction. My brother help us to know the cost of lighting up the whole of westnile with solar system and the power that could be generated to cause the developmental projects westnilers are crying for.Well districts in westnile voted for various political parties in various percentages but when it comes economic black out like we are in now westnilers suffer equal the same irrespective of who voted who and which colour.My brother people have tried to buy generators with their meager resources from DR Congo but could not light up the whole area and going further by solar system may not yield the expected results unless am convinced to believe so.
