 The Merckberg community, Macau, the local government area of Benway State have staged a peaceful protest to demand the restoration of electricity supply to their neighborhood, alleging some officials of John's electricity distribution company, JEDC, of exchanging their transformer 47 years without their knowledge. Over 100 youths and elders from the Merckberg community had stunned the state office secretaries of John's electricity company with placards and green leaves to demonstrate their displeasure for not giving them electricity in the last six months. That this particular transformer that is serving us now is not even our transformer. And this is our own very transformer that has been serving us and served us for 47 years. We have been begging JEDC, please come to our aid. See, we have cried, we've made calls, we've called JOSC, which is like the headquarters of JEDC, promises upon promises. So today we decided to come here and lay our grievances. And there's nothing more we're asking, more than give us a new transformer. Look at what is that, these six months, crippling the whole businesses, crippling the whole, you know, now, digital time, darkness, amro bars everywhere. So we're tired of it. We can't even pump water. It's affecting business, it's improving crime. It's improving, in fact, we are filled up of this to the next. The community youths who had led the CHH at the entrance gate of Maccord JEDC office to demand the attention of regional manager who was out of town were, however, pacified after much entries from both the officials of JEDC and the officers from the civil defence were showed that their case will be looked on Monday. It has been a great period of time. The team of JEDC will be in Demepe to assess the capacity of those two or three transformers that are working on that work we are seeing. It's not the work of one day. It's not something they will come there today and you start expecting light today. And we want to say we are very sorry for all the embarrassment and the suffering we have gone through. We are quite aware and we are finally going to expand our lives. So we just want to thank you for your patience and understanding.
