Musician King Saha has criticised the Uganda Electricity Distribution Company Limited (UEDCL), accusing the new electricity distributor of failing to provide reliable power despite consumers continuing to pay their bills.
Saha says Ugandans cannot continue paying high electricity bills while enduring frequent power outages that disrupt their daily lives and businesses.
The singer also revealed that he tried contacting UEDCL’s call centre over the electricity issues but was instead harassed, raising concerns about how the company handles customer complaints.
“Kino ekitongole kya masanyalaze ekipya, go'gakilemye,” he said, expressing frustration with the new electricity distributor.
His remarks come amid widespread complaints from Ugandans about constant power cuts, which have disrupted businesses, interrupted work and raised concerns about damage to electrical appliances.
UEDCL took over electricity distribution from Umeme on 1 April 2025, but consumers continue to demand more reliable supply and better customer service.
Saha’s criticism adds to growing public frustration, with many Ugandans questioning when they will receive the dependable electricity service they pay for.
