The government has issued an apology over the continuous power blackouts in northern Uganda for the past decade.
Ms Ziria Tibalwa Waako, the chief executive officer of Uganda’s Electricity Regulatory Authority (ERA), last Friday, said she regretted the impact of the blackouts on the economic progress on the region.
