Zesa comes under Parly scrutiny

THE performance of power utility, Zesa Holdings, will next week come under scrutiny when Parliament begins countrywide public hearings to gather views of consumers pertaining to service delivery, among other issues.

Parliamentary Portfolio Committee on Mines and Energy chairman Edward Chindori Chininga yesterday confirmed the development, saying the hearings would tackle challenges being experienced by consumers with Zesa’s service delivery systems.

“We want the public to speak out on issues such as prepaid electricity meters, smart meters, load shedding, Zesa billing systems and general issues that affect them in terms of Zesa power supplies, generation of power, infrastructure and other support systems,” said Chindori Chininga.
