N22 Electricity Starving People

I usually get up early in the morning. It has become a habit to sleep early and get up early. As everyone is advising everyone to take exercises or at least do some walking in this age of diseases and cancer I also have developed a habit of taking half an hour of walking.

This morning the light had gone out at 5:00 am. It is still dark at this time, so when I start to walk I can hear the sound of generator engines start all around me.

Electricity is distributed according to quota system again. The Government blamed the KIA (KACHIN insurgents) for blasting 4 power posts, but they also confessed that the electricity produced is not adequate for the need of the country. Anyway it is better now that the government let the people know about true conditions of the country, unlike the military Government which did not take into account the need and desire of people but did as they wished. Most are for the benefit of themselves and their cronies.

I am thinking if they feel guilty or not for what they have done when there are a lot of criticizing about them as now. If they feel so they should not continue to meddle in the new government's affair which will be better because there are opposition parties and people who will talk and give good advice.

Firstly it is very important for the new government; to try and get enough electricity for domestic and industrial use because if there is not enough electricity industrial works cannot be done, even if the people can live primitive lives. Even then the lives of city dwellers will be difficult.

But when we come to think there are a lot of works to be done for the country to become better. And the hardest thing to do will be to fight corruption. I think corruption will not come to end with the president's urging and pleas only, but strict laws and orders should also be imposed and actions to be taken accordingly.

At the present we who are living in the city will have to stay in the dark or get a little light from LED lamps (thanks to China) or to endure the noise of roaring generators.
