UNO: Gov’t passing
power job to business |
|
By Jayson Cruz Luna Contributor
THE United Opposition (UNO) said
Monday that the Arroyo administration is passing the blame to the
private sector, particularly to the Lopez family and the Manila
Electric Company (Meralco), for its alleged failure to implement
reforms in the power sector and keep the cost of electricity down.
UNO President and Makati Mayor
Jejomar Binay said the “power play squeeze” being applied on the
Lopez Family and their company [Meralco] was another Palace strategy
to blame the private sector for the country’s power woes.
