is the tariff good or bad?


who owns the guyana power..government or private industry?


was it privatised under neo-liberal policies?

The tariff was in need of review ... from what I have been told, there was no electricity increase in Linden for a long time.  In the meantime, GT people were being choked .....


Did the people of Linden have a reason to protest?  Yes, since it is human to protest against anything that is detrimental to them, and higher tariffs will be detrimental to them, given the state of the cost of living in Guyana.


Did the police have a right to monitor and keep order?  YES!!!!


Did they have a right to shoot to kill?  NO!!!!




Am I going to get hauled over the coals, tarred and feathered and called vile names for  the opinions expressed here?  OF COURSE!!!!!!  Business as usual..
