Sep 06, 2012 News

The technical team tasked with recommending the way forward for electricity tariffs in the town of Linden will be commencing soon.
This assurance was given by Head of the Presidential Secretariat, Dr. Roger Luncheon yesterday at the Office of the President. He revealed that Cabinet has approved funding and the stage is now set for the team to begin activities.
The establishment of the team was agreed to during negotiations between the government and the people of Linden, being represented by a team headed by Region 10 Chairman Sharma Solomon, in August.
Intended electricity tariff increases by Government in the town sparked a protest which prolonged for a month. Three Linden residents were also killed on the first day of the protest.
Meanwhile, facilities and staffing are also in place for the technical team focusing on the economic situation in Linden.
However, the chairperson for this team is yet to be appointed.
The members will be located at Colgrain House, Camp Street.
