The Ministry of Power has said there is no plan to transfer the nation’s electricity distribution to a German company, Siemens.
The ministry, in a statement by the Special Adviser on Media and Communications, Mr Aaron Artimas, said it had become necessary to put the records straight on the minister’s briefing after the Federal Executive Council meeting on Wednesday.
The Minister of Power, Mr Saleh Mamman, was quoted as saying that a proposal had been submitted to the government on the problem of distribution and it was left to them to decide what to do. The minister explained that the government was concerned about the disproportion of the value chain and how to align this chain for optimum distribution of power.
