Dear all, Very interesting arguments I must say. I think the real thing should be where is Nyagak and not whether we should be connected to the nat. grid or not?!!!!!!! What our demand is and whether it is enough to get us on the nat grid!!!!!????
I know Kiruhura has just got a project of over 6billion to connect villages in Kazo to the National grid which our good Dujanga commissioned recently. I can bet the villages of Kiruhura do not have even the demand of 1MW. Anyway cows require water to be pumped from the streams!!! If the President could only concentrate on when the 3.5MW will be on, he would have sounded smarter. Now he is "all hats and no cows" just like the Texans say. Good deliberations folks but ofcourse most politicians from West Nile will never discuss this seriously because a cabinet reshuffle is largely expected soon and like Christine puts it, there is still time. God will one time smile at us. This is a test that Moses and his sheep faced in the desert. We are being tested and we should remain strong in the face of this massive neglect. Time itself will tell.
