Residents of the West Nile Region in Uganda have called on the newly appointed Chief Executive Officer of Uganda Electricity Transmission Company Limited (UETCL) to prioritise the connection of electricity to the region to end their frustrations.

Mr. Joshua Karamagi was appointed to replace George Rwabajungu who resigned in August 2022.

He officially assumed post on Tuesday, 28th February 2023.

But even before he settled down, residents of the West Nile Region took to the Twitter page of UETCL to express their frustrations about the lack of electricity in the area and reminded the new CEO about the promise of the sector minister to ensure that the region is connected to the national grid in 2023.

West Nile Region has a total population of about 3.2 million people.

Below are some of the posts on Twitter:
