PUC seeking more qualified staff to investigate technical complaints

Della Britton

With an increasing number of complaints made by consumers to the Public Utilities Commission (PUC), the agency is looking to improve its capacity to effectively investigate all matters.

During a press engagement on Friday at the commission’s New Garden Street office, Chair of the PUC Dela Britton revealed that the body is currently working with the University of Guyana and technical institutes to recruit interns. She said that with this in place, the commission will be able to effectively investigate complaints that are of a technical nature.

The PUC Chair observed that the PUC of the future requires persons who have technical skills in different areas. On that note, she said, they have also expanded the requirements for persons seeking employment at the commission.
