MONROVIA – Residents of the Airfield Shark’s, Old and New Matadi and Lakpaze Communities have written the Liberia Electricity Corporation (LEC) about a planned demonstration if the LEC failed to restore power to their respective communities within 48 hours. “We want to inform the management of the LEC of our plan to stage a huge demonstration in demand of restoring power in our communities. For over the past four months our communities have been out of power due to the lack of transformers,” they stated in the letter. The lack of electric power in the communities has caused many people to return to generators. Hundreds of Liberians in Monrovia and its environs have complained that the LEC allegedly sells transformers in communities that have damaged transformers and need repair or changing.
