Johi gas crisis

Johi town is without gas for the last five days. This has created a crisis for the people. Wood is in short supply. In addition, its price has also skyrocket. The SSGC helpline is not responding to people’s complaints. People have also witnessed a rise in gas theft and some believe that elements within the company are involved in the theft because a layman cannot fix illegal gas connections.

The company alleges that the majority of the people have defaulted on payment. The reality is that the people did not receive gas bills for years. A few families that have access to the internet have been paying bills regularly. It is wrong to blame customers for the poor billing response. Johi is rich in oil and gas resources. It is strange then that the people have been going through gas load-management.
