METER SYNDICATE ROCKS EDSA!
While EDSA publicly announced affordable and transparent meter installation fees, shocking allegations from the Waterloo branch suggest a deeply entrenched “pay-to-connect” system where desperate citizens are forced to pay inflated illegal charges to get electricity on time.
Customers who pay the official fee reportedly suffer months of delays, while those who pay higher unofficial amounts receive fast-tracked service — exposing what many now describe as a full-blown meter syndicate operating inside the system.
The scandal raises serious concerns about corruption, exploitation, revenue leakages, and the collapse of accountability within an institution meant to serve the public. Sierra Leoneans are now demanding urgent investigations and decisive action from EDSA management before public trust is completely destroyed.
