Hamdillila! The anti-corruption group actually did something! When details of the nuclear power deal came to light (see here) the anti-corruption authority requested all documents from the minister of electricity dealing with it. A month went by and the minister did not deliver the documents for review (surprise!) the board asked the prime minister to halt all dealings with the company (powered corporation) that was going to do the deal. The head of the anti-corruption board expressed surprise that the minister didn’t hand over all of the documents. If he really was surprised, he would have been the only one. In any sort of functioning government, there would be an intense investigation into the minister’s actions. Im willing to bet that since the corruption seems to have been avoided, nothing else will be done.
A British company is starting to do a study on the possibility of installing wind power in the southwest part of the country. It would generate 5 megawatts of energy (as opposed to the 100 each nuclear plant was supposed to make), but wind power has zero complications here. I hope they are able to make it happen, there’s a lot of places in this country that have no power at all, every little bit helps…
