Comments

1. Cleo: it's funny how a 24-megawatt plant was just pledged when they still can't seem to get the basics right
2. Mayad: It sounds like the Gambian government is finally taking steps to address this electricity crisis

9. Frost Kite: barrow's been saying the same thing for years, when are we actually gonna see anything done about this?
10. Noraellis: What's the point of a 24-megawatt plant when it seems like the existing infrastructure is still causing issues?
