Opposition target LCDS, GPL in $20B budget cuts

The cuts proposed by APNU and AFC, which in some cases overlap, were signalled in notices of motions circulated ahead of the consideration of spending estimates today and they target government’s Low Carbon Development Strategy (LCDS), the Guyana Power and Light Company (GPL), the Guyana Elections Commission (Gecom)
