President Irfaan Ali yesterday read the “riot act” to stakeholders in the power sector over the continuing disruptions in supply and breakdown of equipment.

Minister in the Ministry of Public Works, Deodat Indar, who was present at the meeting at State House, told reporters on the sidelines of a United Airlines cocktail reception last evening that representatives of the Guyana Power and Light (GPL),  Power Producers and Distributors Incorporated (PPDI) and Finnish company, Wärtsilä were read the riot act over the ongoing problems.

Indar said that “serious adjustments” would be coming but declined to say what exactly these would be.
