The Upper Corentyne Chamber of Commerce and Industry (UCCCI) has expressed great dissatisfaction with the most recent and ongoing spate of blackouts in their district.
In a strongly worded statement issued yesterday, the UCCCI said that the continuous blackouts not only affect the private sector in generating revenue and employment, but more importantly they affect every single household in enjoying a much deserved better standard of living.
“We believe that in these modern times and with the amount of funds, both generated and subsidized, being invested into our power company, the level of service must be of a much higher level,” the UCCCI said.
Berbicians, especially those in the Upper Corentyne area, have been experiencing this situation for months now with blackouts for almost an entire day at a time. To compound matters, wherever there is blackout, the supply of potable water is affected.
According to the UCCCI, in the same way that the private sector would be run out of business for providing sloppy service that does not fully serve the needs of its clientele, “we urge GPL to cater more closely to the needs of its paying customers.”
