Karpowership to Resume Electricity Supply to Freetown

Aaron Parker

Recent reports reveal that Karpowership is poised to resume its normal supply of electricity to Freetown, the capital city of Sierra Leone.

This development follows an agreement reached between Karpowership Management and the Government of Sierra Leone.

This developmemt comes amidst a severe blackout that engulfed Freetown due to the government’s outstanding debt of over US$27 million owed to Karpowership.

The urgency of the situation was heightened by the partial suspension of operations by Karpowership, the primary electricity supplier to Freetown.

As the city anticipates the restoration of power, this agreement signals a potential relief from the electricity crisis that has gripped the capital.

Sierraloaded we're tired of the repeated istory of karpowership restoring electricity back to the capital Freetown.

Solar Energy is the way forward for Sierra Leone. When the government goes begging again, please beg for a 50Mw Solar Plant rather than a Bridge or some other useless egocentric structure.

No elected president will make sierra Leone presently,the only solution is for the military to Overthrow this Government or else even if we change this president it's the same thing!Mark my words okay and this so called coup d'etat attempt that they called it is fake or was not concluded by the military themselves or else is not possible at all.

We pray for sustainable electricity now

How long will we continue paying money for electricity supply? Why can't we once and for all solve the issue of light in this country by getting our own? Even if the ship is $100 million we can afford to buy one and finally forget about owing debts because of light. With the revenue we get from allonong companies in this country,we can even buy two of that shop if only we are determined to do that. Is the ship or its owners also praying for our water they use to generate the electricity we are paying them for?

I suggest we forget about this endless spending on Karpowership and take a loan and build ours instead.

Let the government use our 2 years tax money to buy the karpowership

1) An entire country can not afford 27 million, which is now a past due amount, that is such a shame. How bad off are we? And even if this is true and they pay the 27 million and we geh light, in about a year, we are in the same position again. 2) We can't pay $27 million for electricity, but last year the government budgeted $8 million for Maada Bio to travel and the majority of those trips were not neccessary.

Did I just see $27 million to pay Kar electricity? Or it's a joke.
| 2024-04-20 21:19:01

If the government cannot pay the suppliers, let us (the consumers) pay our top up monehy directly to the Karpower ship.
