Dear Editor, <\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

What is really going on at APUA? Their PR head needs an award for being able to disguise continous load shedding as “planned outages necessary for line upgrades, repair and maintenance”. I’m sick of this. In order to maintain the lines, they have to shut off power routinely every single day to multiple places? Really?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Are these “lines” made of cardboard? Or are they really “lines” of cocaine? Because high being on drugs is the only logical explanation for the way in which those in charge are managing the power in this country. Antigua is just not that big. It’s tiny. Go to Trinidad or Jamaica and we are smaller that some major communities there.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

And yet, in tiny Antigua, we need to have multiple “planned outages” every week, almost everyday, if not everyday, in order to maintain lines?? This has been going on forever. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They act as if because they give forewarning, that makes it okay. People having their power off from 8:30 am to midday, is not okay. What are you doing?? Everyday, some part of Antigua is without power? Tiny Antigua? Jesus.\u00a0<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

I looked at APUA’s Facebook just now. Here’s a list of all the places where there were “planned outages” this week in part of the community: John Hughes, Paynters, Jennings, Yorks, Cedar Grove, Marble Hill, Cedar Valley, Mount Pleasant, Briggins, Golden Grove, Bolans, Valley Church, Harbour View, Jolly Harbour, English Harbour, All Saints Road, Cassada Gardens, Christian Valley. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

WHAT THE ACTUAL ****? <\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

I shudder to imagine what it would be like if the jokers we have here had to manage affairs in a larger country. If you can’t get it right in a tiny place like Antigua, how would you perform elsewhere?<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Economic **ithouse. If you’re reading this, please don’t forget to look at the comment section to see the nasty vagabond Labour Party supporters come out to praise the inadequacy of their public services and fling feces at anyone who says otherwise. Feces is the only thing they produce adequately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Turn back on the F***ING power that I overpay for. I’m tired of this backwater third world nonsense. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sincerely,\u00a0 Johnny\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
