Guyanese are in a state of induced submission

Dec 05, 2019 Letters

DEAR EDITOR,

If GTT, GPL and GWI can offer plausible explanations as to why the services they provide are so lousy and why their bills do not reflect their disgraceful deficiency in service, I will alter my posture that Guyanese are in a sorry state of induced submission.
For years now, Guyanese are being fed a daily diet of substandard service by these utility companies and we have all thrown up our hands and resigned ourselves to: what else can we do?
In Enmore between Monday 2nd and Tuesday 3rd instance, we have had no less than twelve internet interruptions. Trying to call GTT is perhaps more costly and time-consuming than getting a flight to Mars.
On a regular day, GWI cuts off water just after 6pm and one has to resort to bathing from a bucket.
GPL gives fairy lights throughout the day.
We all have heard and read of these woes. And they get worse by the day, as if we are being told: Gripe as much as you want, you idiotic consumers, we just don’t care.
Maybe my expressed position herein is one of the few voices in the wilderness. But those many, many Guyanese, who opt to accept what is being thrown at us with an attitude of subservience, are equally as guilty as our inept utility providers.
In the absence of competition or alternatives, we are sitting ducks. But I suppose that even investors are unsure of tomorrow.
So, God help us, because GTT, GPL and GWI would not.
