“Don’t engage someone who is not certified and then you go and submit the form to another who has the license to stamp. That’s illegal” .
He added that, “If you any NEDCO offices of out stations and you request that you want a certified electrician in your community, they will give you a contract. Their names and numbers are usually displayed on the notice board”.
