Why expand the national grid when you can waste money on useless ጫካ projects and resorts?

One of the main bottlenecks for factories all over the country that’s preventing investment is lack of access to electricity. Billions of Birr is being wasted on useless projects and the associated corruption (close to 100 Billion Birr in the last fiscal year alone), while high national priority projects such as expanding the national electricity grid, high quality education, improving and expanding the healthcare system etc. are being treated like orphans.
