The information coming from Equatorial Hotel and City house building among others  indicate that many times the premises of the wealthy man can stay without power for very many days.

We hear ‘mbu’ some of the tenants on the big man’s buildings have vowed not to pay him this month because they have not done business. Ronald Senyonjo, one of the administrators of Sudhiru’s buildings explains to us that they have generators but they can not switch them on because its very expensive to do so

Senyonjo says that they have for example four generators at Equatorial hotel. But the whole place is in darkness because they find it expensive to buy fuel. He says that each of the generators at Equatorial Hotel consumes fuel of one million shillings.

The scribes want to storm UMEME offices demanding an explanation for the persistent loading shedding. The scribes through their head, Aliga Issa say they work 24 hours a day but the increased load shedding in Masaka has hampered their operations.

Aliga has told our informers that Masaka town has been in darkness for the last two weeks and that it is increasingly difficult for them to file stories on time due to shortage of power in the town.

Efforts to get a comment from UMEME’s boss in charge of Masaka branch, Kivebulaaya Kirunda Magoola were futile. But other media houses last week quoted him as saying that UMEME was experiencing technical problems which he promised would be resolved soon.

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.
