The plenary of the House of Representatives has instructed its Joint Committee on State-Owned Enterprise and Public Utilities to investigate the reported interruption in the supply of electricity by the Liberia Electricity Corporation (LEC).
The House of Representatives’ decision Tuesday, February 13, 2024, was triggered by a communication from Grand Bassa County’s district #1 Representative, Isaac G. Bannie.
Representative Bannie recounted with keen interest the inequitable and inconsistent power supply by the Liberia Electricity Corporation (LEC) to Monrovia and its environs. According to him, such inconsistent supply of electricity has the propensity to destroy lives and cause other forms of inconveniences.
He requested the House of Representatives to invite the management team of the Liberia Electricity Corporation (LEC) to provide reasons for such embarrassment and state the remedy.
Meanwhile, the joint committee is expected to report within the period of one week.
