Jordanie : l’intérêt d’avoir des entreprises privées, c’est qu’on peut les accabler pour incompétence et faute lorsque les choses vont mal... et ainsi détourner la colère populaire contre le gouvernement. Le gouvernement libanais pourrait s’en inspirer (sachant que par ailleurs, cela permet toujours aux mêmes de se remplir les poches...)

The Cabinet on Sunday decided to sue the two electricity distribution companies for failure to “perform their duties during the snowstorm”, the Jordan News Agency, Petra, said.
The Cabinet took the decision after listening to a briefing by Energy and Mineral Resources Minister Mohammad Hamed and President of the Electricity Regulatory Commission Thabet Taher, who stressed that the ministry and the commission’s role is purely regulatory and it is the responsibility of the Jordan Electricity Company and the Jordan Electricity Distribution Company to provide consumers with electricity.
The two officials were quoted by Petra as saying that the two companies should have “invested in modern equipment, technologies and control rooms”.
“The Council of Ministers express its disappointment at the obvious failure of the electricity distribution companies in the central and southern regions, leading to frequent blackouts, adding to the difficulties people suffered under the weather conditions that prevailed in the past few days,” Petra said.
