Parliament yesterday approved $4b  in supplementary funds for operational costs for the Guyana Power and Light through the Office of the Prime Minister for the period from April 1 to July 30, 2024.

It was part of an overall package of $40.7b which was approved.

This allocation was made at the 85th Sitting of the National Assembly of the 12th Parliament of Guyana ironically in the midst of a widespread power outage which also affected the Arthur Chung Conference Centre where Parliament was held.
