We have learnt with great shock that load shedding in most parts of Kampala and Wakiso district including Entebbe Municipality is to continue because ‘Mutundwe power station is under restoration.

The power station burnt last night under unknown circumstances. Currently most parts of Kampala and Wakiso are in too much darkness unlike before. UMEME in what looks like a bid to curb power demonstrations around the city has sent sms messages to all its customers informing them about the problems the company is experiencing.

The message was from 0800185185. The message indicated that UMEME was doing whatever is possible to restore order. The energy minister, Simon D’ujunga however yesterday told the press that his ministry is about to completely end load shedding.
