Not Paid, No More Electricity
In Wayau Village, there is a diesel generator for electricity procured with grant of PNPM Mandiri (national project fund for community development — Ed.). For that facilities, we have regularly paid IDR 30,000 (about USD 3.5) per month per household. Recently, the electricity was black out since many villagers not continously paid the fee. Finally, our elders meeting concluded and suggested that may better no electricity at all.

Villagers Waiting for Electricity
Since 2001, there are 15 units of new houses have been built in Block 23 of Samkai Village in the outskirt ogf Merauke Township. The problem is no electricity until today. We have proposed to Head of Villager to install the electricity. Already some Head of Village been replaced but the facilities still not existed yet. The present Head of Village said that he have forwarded our proposal to higher authority. We hope it will be realized soon.

Villagers Hope Electricity Before Christmas
In three hamlets of Urumb, Waninggap Nanggo, and Matara ini, our parents before, since 1980s, have asked local government to install electricity facilities. The demand have realized long time after, in August 2010. The State Electricity Company (Perusahaan Luistrik Negara, PLN –Ed.) at the time cut all of manggo and coconut trees in front of our houses, replaced them with iron columns of electricity network. In the hamlet of Urumb, electricity cables also already installed into every houses but not yet in other two hamlets, Waninggap Naggo and Matara. We ask government to accomplish the installation, so, we can enjoying electricity lights before Christmas this year. If not, we would accuse the Head of Village to pay such a compensation of IDR 5 millions (USD 555) for each of our manggo and coconut tress that have been cut by PLN before.

Electricity Finally Came into Village
Sekarang di Kampung Bupul sudah mulai pasang kabel listrik. Warga menyambut baik dengan rencana listrik masuk kampung. Saya dengar, nanti sistimnya bukan bayar setiap bulan, tetapi menggunakan voucher. Voucher ini untuk mempermudah warga dalam pembayaran rekening listrik tiap bulan. Kalau sistimnya bayar bulanan, kasihan sekali mengingat warga disini penghasilannya tidak tetap. Harapan kami, saat Perayaan Natal nanti listrik sudah menyala.
