Jagdeo’s mansion uses 3 of 4 transformers in Pradoville 2
The distribution of electrical transformers has been most irregular with the discovery of three transformers being connected to the home of former president Bharrat Jagdeo. The authorities say that one transformer is often enough for a large company that demands a lot of electricity.
Recently it was discovered that the home of former President Bharrat Jagdeo was connected to three transformers when large companies had only one transformer.
The situation at Pradoville Two was that like most housing communities where there would have been infrastructure provided by the authorities. In this case the scheme emerged but there was no supporting infrastructure.
Just a fortnight ago the community had its first water meter. But the electric connections were there. The connection leading to the home of former President Bharrat Jagdeo raised questions at a time when established companies could not boost their power supply.

One generator is often enough to channel power to a company that uses hundreds of kilowatts. For Jagdeo to have three transformers leading to his home would suggest that he has needs for more power than a large company.
Jagdeo at his Pradoville mansion needs to support a swimming pool. Word is that the lighting system is immense. There are multi-million-dollar chandeliers, air conditioning for his dog kennel and even for his cat.
The investigation is likely to discover a warehouse to store pharmaceuticals, the likes of which GPC constructed to fashion the multi-million dollar contractors offered to the New Guyana Pharmaceutical Corporation.
The fact that the area has more electricity than any other community contrasts with what happens with the supply of potable water.
The community recently received its first water meter installed at the home of Dr Roger Luncheon. For five years the community has been enjoying potable water free of cost. In fact, most of the community still enjoys free potable water.
