10 More Ways to Become a Third World Utility - One of the advantages of old age is you can say more of what you actually think. Having been in the utility business for over 40 years, I've seen many things. I've noticed that many ideas are re-invented every 10 or 20 years and my insight into the fate of some of these ideas is misinterpreted as "unusual insight".

I add few more points:

Make the procurement system as corrupt as possibile

Appoint the top man from Administration without any experience of Utility work

Insult power Engineers if power fails and Get them beaten by the consumers with poklice watching

Encourage sycophancy and politics to the maximum

When catching powrer thieves consult the local MP or the minister

Get the honest and Engineer fired especially if he is mentoring some engineers

Create and copy :- You have a typical Third world in real time- say a utility in my dear India!

Cheat offically on all projects and produce bogus electrification reports

Good Day and good luck to you

Create a prize in international incompetance in running utilities!!
