Fed up after almost a month without power, several residents of Port Kaituma, in Region One, yesterday protested against the Port Kaituma Power and Light Company (PKPL).
Stabroek News was told that residents decided to protest after the power company failed to provide them with an answer about the restoration of power to the community.
The community has been grappling with a power outage due to a generator failure. In a Facebook post two weeks ago, the power company said, “PKPL wishes to inform its customers that as a result of [a] major mechanical issue, power should be restored within two weeks. PKPL sincerely regrets all inconveniences caused.”
