‘Bankrupt GPL’ inherited from Patterson being revived

A PROGRESSIVE outlook is being restored to the Guyana Power and Light Incorporated (GPL), which, according to the Office of the Prime Minister, was mismanaged and bankrupted prior to August 2020.

In direct response to comments by former Minister of Public Infrastructure, now the Public Works Ministry, David Patterson, on the current state of the power company, Prime Minister Brigadier (ret’d) Mark Phillips, in a statement on Tuesday, said:

“We have already set the record straight with respect to our inherited burdens in August 2020 of a mismanaged and bankrupt Guyana Power and Light Company (GPL) under the portfolio of former minister, David Patterson.”

Prime Minister Phillips went on to say: “In his desperate quest for relevance following his stupendous ouster from the Public Accounts Committee of the Parliament, Patterson continues to unabatingly promulgate smokescreens and downright falsehoods about the surreptitious operations he personally orchestrated at GPL and Power Producers and Distributors Inc (PPDI).”
