The Centre for Trade Policy and Development CTPD is concerned with the Ministry of Energy’s silence, on the loadshedding which has continued to prompt concern among citizens, businesses and various stakeholders.
CTPD Executive Director Isaac Mwaipopo says many households are experiencing prolonged power outages, affecting their quality of life and businesses without any assurance from the responsible ministry.
“Small and large businesses alike are struggling to maintain operations, leading to economic losses and heightened uncertainty,” said Mr. Mwaipopo in a statement issued to RCV News in Lusaka today.
Mr. Mwaipopo said that it is imperative for the Minister of Energy to proactively engage the Public and business community with answers to the current electricity crisis and explain the measures they are putting, to sustainably resolve the crisis in the short and long term.
