Mr James Gunu, District Chief Executive (DCE) and DISEC Chairman, dropped the hint in an interview with the GNA.

He said the Security Committees directive was based on the fact that the unstable power situation had both economic and security implications.

He said DISEC was aware that challenges in electricity supply were short term but thought the briefing was necessary to help provide comprehensive planning including strategic planning for the area, as Christmas approached.
