Banduga, This is useful information because the impression I got from Arua the last time (not long ago) I was there was that WENRECO would make you pay twice for the poles if you privately arranged it.
Now this is getting somewhere. I think that plan of running the main lines to different parts of the urban and semi-urban centres would be a welcome idea. At what stage is this? Thank you.
