PUC goes on Essequibo outreach

Jun 08, 2016 News

The Public Utilities Commission in its continued drive to educate the public about the Commission’s work will be visiting Essequibo Coast (Region Three) this month.

As part of its attempts to lift the profile of the PUC, apart from annual appearances on radio and television, advertisements and infomercials on television in Bartica, Essequibo and Berbice, the Commission has over the years been engaged in consumer awareness and schools education programmes and outreaches.
This has served to bring to the attention of the Commission, issues that affect consumers. These range from electricity, telecommunications and water to sewerage sectors.
For this year to date, the Commission has visited Number 51 and Number 19 Villages, Manchester, and Rose Hall in Berbice, Stabroek Market, Guyoil Gas Station, Sheriff Street, the Ethnic Relations Commission and the Queenstown Secondary School, Georgetown.
In May the Commission had a successful awareness programme at the Giftland Mall and through the courtesies extended by the Management of the Mall, the staff was able to make use of a booth and interact with patrons and staff at the various outlets in the Mall. This was well received by the public.
The Commission’s outreach for June will be on the Essequibo Coast from June 9 to June 11. The team will visit Parika, Supenaam, Suddie, Anna Regina and Charity. The Staff plans to meet with students of the Anna Regina Multilateral Secondary, the Cotton Field Secondary and Charity Secondary Schools, and members of the Anna Regina Town Council, the Chamber of Commerce, and the Charity Neighbourhood Democratic Council.
There will also be visits to the Anna Regina Market and to a number of business places. The Commission will also appear on the popular Ravi D programme on RCA Channel Eight.
The Commission continues its public awareness drive in the hope of making Guyanese aware of the work of the Commission and also to receive feedbacks on areas that are of concern to consumers so that we may better regulate utilities for efficient services.
