Rwanda energy crisis: Trade union network campaigns against energy privatization

An Energy Network meeting in Kampala, Uganda, has issued a statement on the privatization of the energy sector in Rwanda. Union executives and members have been dismissed after being accused of lending support to the unionists and highlighting the government’s influence on the public in favor of privatization and against the unions’ anti-privatization stance. The Network calls on governments in Africa to provide adequate, reliable and affordable electricity to all citizens and demands for the reversal of all privatized energy utilities.
