By way of a majority vote, the Board of Directors of the Guyana Power and Light Inc. (GPL) yesterday rescinded a decision to let go of the utility company’s Deputy Chief Executive Officer Renford Homer and to terminate the services of Human Resources Officer Bal Persaud, a source last evening said.
On Thursday, Homer was given written notice of the decision not to renew his contract, while Persaud was notified of the termination of his services. A source said that while Homer’s contract ended in May, Persaud’s contract had not yet expired and was due to come to an end on the 31st of December, 2019.
The notifications reportedly caught them both off guard.
