A female employee of Guyana Water Incorporated (GWI) was severely injured to her head, when two disconnection teams of contracted employees were attacked in the course of their duties.
According to GWI, on Wednesday, while conducting a disconnection exercise in West Ruimveldt, GWI Contractor, Winston Jones, and his team were attacked by customers at Lot 574 Hibiscus Place, West Ruimveldt.
However, a female employee was severely injured to the head from an object aimed at her by a resident of the same address. The employee was rushed to the Georgetown Public Hospital for medical attention.
On Thursday, Jones’ Disconnection Team was attacked again at Lot 232 Luckhoo Street, Lodge Housing Scheme, while conducting a disconnection for an account in the name of Sheila Thomas.
Residents of the address threatened the Disconnection Team with cutlasses. Three of the contract GWI Employees, including Supervisor Winston Jones, were injured during the assault. The Disconnection Team was forced to flee the community.
Jones reported the incidents to the West Ruimveldt Police Station and to the East La Penitence Police Station.
Chief Executive, GWI, Dr. Richard Van West-Charles following the incidents, said that he is appalled to hear of the attacks and will be pursuing full legal action against the perpetrators.
‘We cannot condone these violent attacks against our contractors,” stated the GWI Chief Executive. “‘GWI will explore every option, including engaging the Guyana Police Force, to ensure that the perpetrators are fully prosecuted.”
