Over 33,000 households to benefit nationwideAuthorities at the Liberia Electricity Corporation (LEC) yesterday began planting network poles in the Township of Caldwell, to connect homes and businesses. It can be recalled that on February 19, 2018, residents of the Caldwell community blocked the only road connecting the area with other parts of Monrovia. “We are grateful to the Liberian government and wholeheartedly welcome this important project. “Some of us spent US$10 on a daily basis just to purchase a gallon of gasoline to feed our generators, while others are spending much more per month for community electricity,” Wleh said. Mr. Murray thanked the donor community for helping LEC to execute its mandate by reaching the needy community with electricity.
