The disruption of the electricity supply the country experienced on Good Friday morning is unacceptable.God seems to be changing his citizenship.This time Phoenix Park Gas Processors is the bobolee.The Communication Minister who is more apply suited to culture has apologised.Talk is cheap. What about the revenue lost?A probe has been ordered, we all know where that will end up.
This is our third major blackout in three years. August 30, 2011, December 2012, July 2010. Excellent repeatability.Sabotage? Or square pegs in round holes?We were sitting on a potential bomb friday morning. Thankfully the sun rose.Imagine if this had occurred at 7 pm. Looting, get the picture?In countries like Japan which we aspire to be like, from the minister, the board and the General Manager would have offered their resignation. Not here, they will say the outage was an act of God.
This inefficiency must be terminated now.The buck stops here.I do not expect major changes in personnel, I demand it.On the ''bright side'' or on a ''light note'', the Prime Minister disregarded advice by her doctors and came out to work, not much faith in her ministers, don't you think?She has made the list of the top ten best dressed world leaders.
