Delayed inspection

THE EDITOR: I would like to bring to the attention of the public, via the medium of your newspaper the delay involved in the privatisation of the Government Electrical Inspectorate department.

It was understood that this department was supposed to be privatised, similar to the Motor Vehicle Inspection that is being done presently. Over the weekend, my electricity line was torn down, and this required an electrical inspection certificate, in order to be connected. Since there are only two Electrical Inspection offices in this country I had to endure a long wait. I appeal to the authorities to urgently have the privatisation process completed, so that this type of hardship can be eliminated. This would also relieve Government strain on the treasury, since the state would not have to pay travelling expenses and such large wage bills to inspectors.
