The Guyana Power and Light (GPL) says that investigations into the spilt oil which caused two separate accidents on the Rupert Craig Highway last month is still underway and promised to make public the results of this investigate once completed.
Speaking to the company’s Public Relations (PR) department yesterday, Stabroek News was told that the company wanted to carry out a thorough investigation in the incident. The PR personnel assured this newspaper that findings of the investigations will be made known once it is finished.
On May 13th, passers-by said that a broken transformer which was lying on the road, in the vicinity of Conversation Tree, leaked oil onto the road and caused two accidents which saw five vehicles being damaged.
Four days after the event, Roshan Khan, the proprietor of RK’s Security Service, penned a letter in which he said his own investigations had revealed that the transformers belonged to GPL. Khan, whose daughter was one of those involved in the accident, said that it was unfortunate that GPL had not yet accepted responsibility for the incident, and argued that they should be penalised for such.
On the same day, the company released a statement in which it apologised for the mishap, and promised that an investigation would be launched to determine what went wrong.
