Light Company (GPL) and did not dismiss questions raised about the lack of prudent spending at the utility.
“If what they say is true, it is obviously something to be concerned about,†Ramotar said regarding statements by GPL officials that a new Caterpillar generator costs US$900, 000, but the company rented 12 generators last year at a cost of US$720,000 each.
The revelation comes at a time when GPL is lamenting a mammoth fuel bill coupled with a growing demand for electricity.
The government plans to plough $6 billion into the company this year, saying this is meant to address its financial constraints and avoid already burdened consumers from paying higher electricity tariffs.
Ramotar toured the major operations of the company, namely its Kingston and Sophia operations in Georgetown, and those at Garden of Eden, East Bank Demerara.

man re-nationalise the blasted public utility, kick out the corrupt privateers.
all westindian countries allowed the neo-liberal west and corporations to stampede them into privatising public utilities which turn around and fleece the people
THAT FRAUD IS SO STUNNING, SO OPEN AND RIDICULOUS I DONT KNOW WHY THE PEOPLE ALLOW SUCH THINGS TO TAKE PLACE.
THE PEOPLE BUILT UP THE INFRASTRUCTURE IN THE FIRST PLACE...AND SO ACTUALLY OWN THE PUBLIC UTILITY.
THE GOVERNMENT TAKES THIS HUGE AND ESSENTIAL INFRASTRUCTURE AND LITERALLY GIVES IT TO A GROUP OF CROOKS..OR INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION.. FOR NOTHING...UNDER THE GUISE OF PRIVATRISATION.
DEH TALK ABOUT PRIVATISATION BUT THERE IS NO SALE AND REVENUE FOR THE GOVERNMENT OUT OF IT. IT IS OUTRIGTH THEFT/GIFT OF THE PEOPLES KAKADAH.
THEN THIS GROUP OF CROOKS..OR INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION... TURNS AROUND AND SETS UTILITY RATES THAT GURANTEE A PROFIT FOR THEMSELVES..INCLUDING MINIMUM RATES THAT MUST BE PAID EVERY BILL NO MATTER HOW MUCH INDIVIDUALS USE.. USUALLY HIGHER THAN THE BASIC RATES PEOPLE PAID PRIOR TO THE PRIVATISING.
AND ON THESE MINIMUM RATES THEY START TO CHARGE USAGE, DELIVERY AND ALL MANNER OF CHARGES, THAT MAKES THE UTLILITY BILL OUTRAGEOUS, UNNECESSARY AND ABSOLUTELY RAPACIOUS.
THERE COULD HAVE BEEN NO GREATER RIP OFF OF THE NATION THAN THIS WHOLE PRIVATISING RACKET.
AND THE PEOPLE OF SO MANY COUNTRIES SIT BACK AND TAKE IT..ACCEPT IT AND PAY THROUGH THE NOSE.
INCREDIBLE!

HOW MANY MANUFACTURERS OF ELECTRICAL GENERATORS ARE THERE IN THE WORLD?
WHAT ARE THE VARIOUS RATINGS OF THEIR PRODUCTS ON ALL LEVELS...INCLUDING FUEL EFFICIENCY, DURABILITY, INITIAL COST, MAINTAINANCE COSTS ETC?
WHY ARE ONLY CARTEPILLARS USED IF THE DETAILS ISSUED HERE ABOUT THEM ARE TRUE?
WHY WUD YU RENT A LOT OF MACHINERY FOR HIGH PRICE YU DO NOT WANT TO BUY BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT WORTHY OF BUYING FOR THE LONG TERM?
ARE THERE ANY FOR THE LONG TERM YU CAN BUY AND AT WHAT COST THAT CAN SAVE YU MONEY?
AN WHY IS RAMOTAR SPEAKING LIKE AN INNOCENT IN THE MATTER?
IS HE NOT THE PM?
AND IF HE DOES NOT KNOW HE CAN KNOW BY GETTING HIMSELF FULLY BRIEFED, UNDERSTAND, CONCLUDE AND CORRECT THE SITUATION... AND ONLY THEN SPEAKING..BUT AUTHORITATIVELY?
