Opposition Leader Aubrey Norton yesterday maintained that a government led by him will not abolish subsidies but rather would work to make electricity and water affordable and ultimately free for low income households and vulnerable groups.
Norton in a video statement released on social media said, “At a July press conference I stated while a PNCR-led government will work over the long term to make GPL and GWI efficient and less of a burden on the national treasury, our government will maintain subsidies in line with its long-stated position that electricity and water must be made free or affordable to low income households and vulnerable groups.”
He continued that the next PNCR/APNU government “will not abolish subsidies.”
