“City of Freetown Will Not be in Pitch Darkness” – Energy Minister Assures

17 Feb 2024 • 1 min read • 4,981 views • 10 comments

Sierra Leone’s Minister of Energy, Alhaji Kanja Sesay, dispelled rumors of an impending blackout in the capital city. He addressed concerns surrounding the Turkish Kapowership, a key contributor to Freetown’s energy supply, and its potential departure due to unpaid government debts.

“There is absolutely no truth to the claims that Freetown will be plunged into darkness,” Minister Sesay declared. He acknowledged outstanding payments to the Kapowership but emphasized, “These debts are being actively addressed and will be settled.”

He attributed the delays to global economic challenges, assuring the public, “We are working diligently to navigate these difficulties and ensure uninterrupted power supply.”

Minister Sesay urged residents to remain calm and trust the government’s commitment to providing stable electricity. “We are taking all necessary steps to keep the lights on in Freetown,” he stated.

“This administration is fully dedicated to illuminating the city and ensuring its continued development.”

“He attributed the delays to global economic challenges, assuring the public,”

Oh, that global economic crisis. Despite it, other countries continue to be able to provide this very basic service. We are backward. Does Maada look in the mirror and acknowledge the lies he told when running, including about this issue? His wife just flew to Ethiopia, a trip she did not need to make. Probably flew private. Why didn’t they use those funds towards paying down the millions we owe for electricity? With these rumors, good chance the city is plunged into darkness soon.
