UEDCL to take over from UMEME | MorningAtNTV
Umeme's 20-year concession is set to end in March 2025, and UEDCL’s takeover of the distribution mandate aligns with the government’s decision not to renew any expiring distribution licenses held by private companies. Public expectations are divided on what will happen when UEDCL takes over from Umeme. Some believe UEDCL's cash-strapped finances could pose a significant challenge, potentially reversing progress in the sector, while others see Umeme's exit as a welcome change, citing years of poor service quality. We speak with Jonan Kiiza, PRO at UEDCL, for more insights.
