Dear Editor,
Pictures of high profile managers, board members and other supporting entities of the power company, at the break of dawn reading of the ‘riot act’ meeting, some looking perplexed, puzzled, uncertain and uninvolved, highlights and sends a message of an entity in dire straits. From a layperson’s perspective was the meeting a gathering of minds – technical, engineering and otherwise, to seriously explore ideas and come up with an action plan on steps which could be taken in the short to medium term to alleviate the blackout situation plaguing the country for several months? Were technical personnel present to offer advice, suggestions and guidance on where the entity goes from here in order to overcome this problem? Or was the meeting called as a face saving measure, to read the riot act to persons of a situation with backs against the wall? Just what is expected to be achieved by this remains to be seen. A picture speaks a thousand words.
Sincerely,
Shamshun Mohamed
