Is judiciary against corruption or in support of corruption?
It is as if judiciary don't know what is going on in the country.
The judiciary has reversed the increase in the electricity distribution fee.
And I asked a reversal to what? # 750 fixed monthly charge, which is # 9000 annually. In my compound, we have only 90 flats and on annual basis, we will pay # 810,000. In Lagos Mainland Local Government (which residents is more than 6000) over #54,000,000.00 (fifty-four million) will be paid to EKO electricity Distribution just as fixed charge. If EKO decides not to supply energy for the next one year, they will still collects over # 54,000,000 from the residents of LMLG!
And how much in total from all other places they operate.
According to NERC, we have 12 major distribution companies and two operates in Lagos, while the other distribution controls more than one state. In effects it means I can go to sleep and DO ABSOLUTELY NOTHINGS, except perhaps own an electricity distribution company and be eternally rich.
The judiciary should uphold the removal of fixed charge and then find a way of negotiating the variable charge. Also this law just took effect some months ago, where was the judiciary, why must the judiciary always come late?
We could just conclude justice delayed is justice denied.
Someone might just have to ask on whose side is this judiciary system?
Lagos water corporation case of metering water and charging based on their preconceive units is still ongoing and the court has done nothing about that. The commercial sector who are affected for now are complaining and they are already telling us that the fate of the household community is ‘homecoming’
Firstly like all government does, since last year water supply has been erratic and individual borehole and well digging is the source of water. (For over 50 years, Lagos State Water Corporation has been the only source of water provision and well digging a sustainable factor during the hot weather but that has CHANGE, thanks to the CHANGE mantra.)
Secondly, it will be the case of review of water tariff and it is already in the pipe because the metering system is decided upon by the Govt without any recourse to the citizens. The water metering law even the water you drill from the borehole you created yourself.
Thirdly, the government says it is an old law that they are just implemented therefore you cannot blame them for not giving public lecture and calling for a town hall discussion.
The question now is what the type of charge to be used is: fixed and variable, fixed or variable?
Soon a court of competent will rise and nullify it and all the charges that Lagos state has collected WILL never be refund.
It is high time we start making laws with reality of the day than living in a fantasied heaven.
The same issue is what is affecting the motor vehicle users and FRSC. Even FRSC staffs don’t obey the laws because they are all unrealistic laws. Though the laws are goods but they are unrealistic. The FRSC staffs will claim staff if apprehended but the man on the street will be severely tortured and the fines are so exorbitant such that bribing the FRSC staffs (CORRUPTION) seems to be the normalcy and expected reaction.
I will never regret supporting this CHANGE MANTRA but I think I will regret the ignorance of not knowing that the CHANGE MANTRA itself can be change.
