Power like gold in Mityana!

SIR-I tell that applying for electricity connection in Mityana is like buying gold.

SIR-I tell that applying for electricity connection in Mityana is like buying gold. On May 3 this year, I applied for power in the Mityana office. I was told to pay sh30,000 as a survey fee and then hire a vehicle to the cite which at Masuliita cost me sh40,000 after negotiation. I was then told to pay sh60,000 for "a wiring certificate". Then I was told to pay sh150,000 for the service. Since I wanted power within two weeks, I was told that the procedure was long and I would be delayed and I was advised to purchase all materials locally from the office which amounted to sh75,000. On totalling it all up, I could not really manage it and to make my children's baptism party successful, I rushed to hire a generator. So I promised to go back in kind which they accepted but I will never go back again. So the question is: Who is to correct this: the Inspector General of Government or the new company? M.T.
