Dhaka, 4th July 2010.

Ms. Lidy Nacpil of Jubilee South APMDD who narrated experience from Philippines said that now a day electricity becomes the basic public necessity in development, thus it has become a public right. But the international financial institutions like World Bank and Asian Development Bank pressurized the Philippine and other Asian governments to leave this sector for private sector investment including to the foreign companies. She also mentioned that in fact now it is creating poverty in one hand and in other hand it is creating public debt too.
