When will electricity return to Mabaruma?

May 28, 2012 Letters

Dear Editor,
It is with great concern that I wish to bring the attention of the relevant authorities, the problem of the unprofessional and the non commitment of the Region One administration, as it relates to no electricity of the Mabaruma sub region.
As a resident of Mabaruma, and as a very loyal and committed taxpayer to the government of Guyana, I am very unhappy with the way the regional administration has been addressing this matter of great interest or should I say the manner in which they have attempted to do so.
It has been almost three weeks since the Mabaruma power plant has plunged into severe technical difficulties. Very little is being done to address the issue.
It has been affecting residents tremendously, especially the business community who suffers the most, along with the CSEC students, whom I know are disgusted with the situation.
I recall reading a notice which stated that “Due to technical difficulties experienced at the Mabaruma Power plant there will be no electricity until further notice”.
It was signed by the REO. Why isn’t any official updating the residents on the progress if there is any?
Mr. Editor, it is only rumored that a new generator will supposedly be arriving on the MV Kimbia, which in itself is another story I don’t wish to mention.
In addition, it is also being rumored that the needed parts were to arrive sometime on the aircraft and I am wondering, has the airplane experienced technical difficulties as well?
This is indeed disappointing, and can only be described as professional embarrassment of the regional authorities.
Are there not any technicians who can render some service to the old plant while we await the arrival of the new power generator, whenever that is. Are our taxes not enough for such initiative?
In concluding, all concerned residents wish to know what is the stage of progress or the cause for this long delayed electricity problem from regional officials. It is rather surprising that these same regional officials enjoy the nightmares.
