Dar es Salaam. MPs on Tuesday appealed to the government to reform Tanzania Electric Supply Company Limited’s power connection system and a shift from pre-paid to post-paid electricity connections to expand electricity access in rural areas.

They also proposed the provision of subsidies to Tanesco to expedite connections or allow the utility to secure loans for this purpose, which would be recovered through deductions when beneficiaries buy electricity.
