NALIKWANDA FINALLY HAS ELECTRICITY FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE INDEPENDENCE
Fellow residents, happy Monday.
Last Friday, we dated Nalikwanda Constituency in Nakato ward, to monitor progress on both the Mweeke and Lutende Electrification projects.
We were happy with what we found; the 50kva transformer was installed, the 2.9km high-voltage line, and the distribution power line were done for the Lutende Project.
For the Mweeke Project, the story was the same; the 50kva transformer was installed, the 115m high-voltage line, and the distribution power line were done.
According to the contractor, Limpo Power Technologies, 80% of works have been completed and was confident that both projects were to be handed over before Christmas.
When completed, the Mweeke Project will electrify four government units that include Mweeke Health Post and 44 community houses, whiles the Lutende Project will electrify 11 government units that include Lutende High School and 34 community houses.

The New Dawn government has doubled the budget of the Rural Electrification Authority. There will be more areas that will be connected. To Fred M’membe, it’s the work of a puppet government to connect many people to the national electricity grid. He has not even noticed the doubling of REA’s budget.
