Speaking at the plenary on Wednesday, Onyemaechi decried over what he described as monthly exorbitant bills the EEDC gives to Imo Residents over services rendered not adding that posterity would hold the House responsible if they fail to speak for the people.
Chief Onyemaechi made his feelings known while contributing to the motion which seeks to ameliorate the effect of heat-wave and high temperature prevalent in the State, sponsored by the member for Mbaitoli Constituency, Sir Innocent Ikpamezie.
Chief Kanayo Onyemaechi who represents Owerri West Constituency also condemned the attitude of the electricity distribution company for charging money from customers for a service they did not render, stressing that such amounts to fraud.
The Lawmaker declared that members of the Imo State House of Assembly would not watch as the people of the State are continually extorted by the EEDC and vowed that they must rise to the occasion to ensure that Imo people get value for every service they pay for.
