President Irfaan Ali yesterday appointed Dr Nanda Kishore Gopaul as the fourth commissioner of the Public Utilities Commission (PUC).
According to a statement from the Office of the President, Ali pointed out that unless properly regulated, public utilities can employ their market dominance to avoid fair pricing and the provision of adequate, reliable and quality services.
He expressed his satisfaction that today Guyana operates in an environment where the monopoly in the telecommunications sector has been dismantled.
