National Water and Electricity Company NAWEC has asked private channel operators to ‘immediately’ bring down cables they placed on their lines or face consequences.
According to NAWEC on Tuesday, it has noticed private channel operators “using our transmission and distribution infrastructure for private their businesses”.
“This poses serious threat to electricity transmission as well as a serious risk to the distribution network thereby causing negative consequences to the consumers.
“NAWEC hereby informs all to those responsible, to desist from this practice and immediately bring down their cables. Failure to adhere to this advice, NAWEC will take the necessary action to free our lines which may attract charges on the side of the defaulters,” NAWEC said in a dispatch.
