Is it not an act of sabotage for the Utilities to propose not to implement the Presidential directive until May, 2020 when the directive says in clear terms that it is to take effect in April, 2020?

No. there is no sabotage
in this. At the date of the announcement, a lot of clients had already purchased
their credits. Implementing it immediately would have therefore been to their disadvantage.
For postpaid clients, nothing has changed. They will see their benefits at the end
of the month on their bills. This period also allows for technical testing.
