Equatorial Guinea’s Vice-President, Teodoro Nguema Obiang Mangue, received the management of the Equatorial Guinea Electricity Company (SEGESA) on Monday 9 November at the People’s Palace in Malabo. He asked for explanations and solutions over the lack of street lighting and increasingly frequent power cuts in the capital, according to Real Equatorial Guinea.
He questioned the management team’s ability to run the company. He regretted that no convincing proposal had been presented to acquire the equipment needed for street lighting and a continuous electricity supply.
The vice-president warned that, without urgent measures, Malabo could spend Christmas and New Year in the dark, which he considers unacceptable. He ordered SEGESA’s leaders to take responsibility and, failing that, to resign. He stressed the priority to be given to the population’s well-being, particularly in the worst-affected neighbourhoods.
The meeting comes as Teodoro Nguema Obiang Mangue also inaugurated a tuna factory in Annobón in early November.
