An official of Buddy’s Housing Development has denied that power connections in the company’s Green Acres housing scheme, at Providence, are illegal.
Ryan Shivraj, the manager of Buddy’s Housing Development Project, denied the recent findings by the Guyana Power and Light Inc (GPL). He said all of the connections in Green Acres have been done through GPL and he is confused about the accusation.
GPL had reported discovering 44 houses and 50 street lights illegally connected.
While documenting the illegal activities, the staff reported that they had encountered hostility from an unidentified man and as a result police officers were brought in.
An official of the Guyana Power and Light Inc (GPL) Loss Reduction Division said the power company still hasn’t removed the illegal wiring in the gated community. The official said there are plans to visit the area again and remove the other illegal connections but he did not specify a date.
According to the Buddy’s Housing Development website, the “elaborate residential” Green Acres scheme, which is the largest built by the company, houses 257 potential homes of multiple types.
“It is a gated community, complete with paved roads, streetlamps, and a shopping complex which will allow basic services to be easily within reach.
Equipped for family life, there is access to a swimming pool, tennis court and a basketball court within one’s neighbourhood,” it says.
