The government is once again increasing the electricity tariff. This is tantamount to giving the public a deadly shock. This is the latest in a series of tariff increases that have come one after the other in recent months. Indeed, there is a need to rationalise the electricity tariff but doing this in one go is very hard on the suffering common man.
Sometimes I wonder if the government is even interested in the welfare of the people or not as it seems with its gross mismanagement, it is leading the public like some sacrificial animal about to be slaughtered.
The government would have found it easier to rally support while it is beleaguered if it had done something to improve people’s day to day lives. But, it has failed to do so.
