KE cartoon

Published July 12, 2020

I WAS amused by the cartoon (July 6) showing helpless consumers of K-Electric sweating under heavy burden of high charges, loadshedding, inefficiency, etc.

But in all fairness to both consumers and KE, please publish a cartoon showing KE on its knees sweating under the burden of kunda connections, power thieves in industry and business, and the government and other organisations accumulating huge arrears.

Please top it up with the KE’s share of the circular debt that has gone up to Rs1.8 trillion. Let all parties laugh.
