Mabaruma without power after second generator fails

The township of Mabaruma, in Region One, is now without electri-city as both of its generators have become non-functioning, Regional Chairman Brentnol Ashley has said.

Stabroek News had reported last week that the town was relying on one of its two generators after the other went down last Thursday.

Ashley, in a telephone interview with Stabroek News, said the second generator stopped working on Monday.

He said both generators have damaged fuel injectors and he blamed the situation on a lack of maintenance.
