Economic Services Committee summons GPL over blackout

The management of the Guyana Power and Light Company (GPL) is expected to appear before the Parliamentary Sectoral Committee on Economic Services on May 8, having been summoned, according to the committee’s Chairperson Shurwayne Holder.

Holder on Thursday at his party’s press conference said that this was in wake of the frequent black outs plaguing the country which are not being mitigated by GPL.

He informed the press that on Wednesday he and members of the committee met with the management of GPL, Minister of Public Works Juan Edghill, Minister in the Ministry of the Public Works Deodat Indar and Prime Minister Mark Phillips and expressed their dissatisfaction with the escalating situation.
