Amid criticism of the Guyana Power and Light (GPL) over the now daily power outages, Minister within the Ministry of Public Works Deodat Indar is adamant that management has nothing to do with these shortcomings.
Speaking at a press conference at the GPL boardroom in Kingston on Thursday, Indar said, “Many times, persons say that the management at GPL are incompetent because of challenges such as blackouts or other known shortcomings. I believe these individuals are qualified and they know their job. These issues we are experiencing are way beyond the control of management.”
Asked about the status of the company’s Chief Executive Officer Bharrat Dindyal, the minister announced that Dindyal was no longer with the GPL due to ill health. In the interim, team executive leader Kesh Nandlall will take up the portfolio.
