A businessman was encouraged to fork out money to have his application for a 3-phase electricity meter fast-tracked at Enemalta.
The businessman, who asked to be quoted anonymously, told sister newspaper that he found it unacceptable to be invited to grease the system.
“I understand that there is a long waiting list, but I cannot accept paying ‘extra’ for a service I am entitled to.”
There are over 80 applications for three-phase meters pending, but the corporation installed 1,068 in 2010 alone.
Julia Farrugia is a former editor of Illum newspaper.
