Development partners are being accused of not doing enough in the electrification space and are also working on small projects in the country with no coordination with the government. State Owned Enterprise Minister William Duma said this Parliament this week while explaining as to why the electrification program commitment made at the APEC Leaders Summit in 2018 has stalled. “When I last met with representatives of those companies at the Australian High Commission office about a year ago, we put it out to them that we wanted to select big impact projects and ask them to do the costings and fund them,” Mr Duma said. “That was the arrangement because from the way they were going, they were funding small projects in drips and drabs in an uncoordinated fashion.” “We made it clear to them that whatever they wanted to do to help us would not be helpful and will have less impact unless we tell them which areas and projects they should target.” He said he told them that the big impact projects include the setting up of power transmitter lines between provinces, build additional water dams and help provide power to the district headquarters in remote electorates. “These are the big impact projects that we want these countries to help fund so that we will then be able to take care of the smaller ones ourselves.”
