Government’s sloth in approving a candidate to be Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Guyana Power and Light Inc. (GPL) has forced the utility company to turn to professional services company PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) to re-advertise the vacancy.
“We had one person before but by the time we got a feedback from the government, the guy was already gone. You know these things—those people don’t stay around,” GPL Board Chairman Robert Badal said, when asked by Stabroek News for an update on filling the vacancy.
GPL has been without a substantive CEO since last year February, when then CEO Colin Welch was fired, following the installation of a new board.
