Best way forward for GPL was to terminate Colin Welch’s service

The Guyana Power and Light Company (GPL) continues to search for a Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and says that no confidence by the Board in its former head Colin Welch led to his termination, after only six months of service.

“The outcome was that we took note of what the public was saying and we felt that the Board did not have full confidence in Mr Welch and we terminated his service, in accordance with his contract,” Chairman of the Board Robert Badal told Stabroek News, in an exclusive interview on Thursday.
