#StayAtHome, but NERC will be increasing electricity tariff, or is it for darkness, cos, where is the light?

When I CRITICISE these politicians, it's because they're not patriotic, they're all selfish.

Who did we offend in this country. Does NERC really understand the current situation of the country? People are #StayAtHome to #staysafe even with all the near #Blackout and all you could do is to approve tariff increament
