The youth of Chereponi township have taken to the streets to protest the lack of electricity in their community for almost 10 days now. The demonstration, which took place yesterday on August 24, 2024, was a powerful display of frustration and anger at the ongoing power outage that has left the town and its surrounding environment in darkness.
For the past ten days, the residents of Chereponi have been living without lights, making it difficult for them to carry out their daily activities. The lack of electricity has also affected the operation of grinding mills in the town, forcing residents to go without proper meals as they can only eat once a day. This has created a dire situation for many families who rely on these mills to process their grains.
In order to have their grains grinded, some residents have had to travel to nearby towns such as Saboba and Mango in Togo. This has added an extra burden on already struggling families, as they have to incur additional costs for transportation and grinding services.
Additionally, residents have had to rely on generators to charge their phones, further adding to their financial strain.
The lack of electricity in Chereponi is not only an inconvenience but also a serious issue that is affecting the livelihoods of the residents. It is unacceptable that the problem has persisted for almost 10 days without any resolution in sight. The youth of Chereponi have taken a stand to demand answers and solutions from the authorities responsible for providing electricity to the town.
It is crucial that the government and relevant stakeholders address this issue promptly and restore electricity to Chereponi. The residents deserve access to basic services such as electricity, and it is imperative that their voices are heard and their concerns are taken seriously. The youth have shown great courage and determination in standing up for their rights, and it is time for action to be taken to resolve this pressing issue.
