- LEC assures Liberians of improved electricity service delivery.
- President George Weah laments poor power supply.
The Chairman of the Liberia Electricity Corporation (LEC) has promised Liberians that there would be rapid progress in the energy sector. He made this known while addressing a meeting chaired by the President of Liberia.
The meeting stemmed from President George Weah’s concern about the woeful outage of power in Liberia.
According to a local news report, in recent months, flights have redirected to other countries while Liberians in the twenty-first century sleep in darkness due to the lack of electric power in the country.
The Chairman of the Board of Directors of LEC, Monie R. Captain, had this to say: “We are fortunate that the electricity sector is taking centre stage, especially at the highest level.” He commended President Weah for giving the sector full backing to ensure that it delivers to the public as expected.
The Captain praised the Liberian leader for giving the LEC, among other things, a direct mandate to battle power theft which has been one of the critical challenges facing the sector.
