GPL Chief Executive Officer, Bharat Dindyal says forthrightly that nothing that the AFC has said so far makes sense since they cannot provide a shred of evidence.

The power company’s CEO, yesterday, also declared that the AFC should make their decisions and pronouncements from an informed perspective. He was responding to questions posed by reporters during a media tour of the Sophia Complex regarding the request by the AFC in a recent press briefing that ‘Dindyal be fired’.
Asked by Dindyal to respond to the AFC call for his firing, he told the media that he looked at every press release coming from the AFC and nothing they have said up to now makes sense.
He noted that he seriously questioned the quality of people they have advising them and it would be interesting if he should take all of the AFC press releases and indicate how each one makes no sense.
Dindyal said: “We have said before the AFC needs to stop and get people to advise them and they should request a meeting with GPL and we would be more than willing to sit with them so that they can make their decisions and pronouncements from an informed perspective.”
He remarked that one can say anything as in Guyana, politicians say anything and they don’t have to provide any evidence.
Dindyal told reporters yesterday that politicians don’t have to provide an iota of evidence but as a technician everything he says he has to support with evidence, which is standard but in the political arena this doesn’t happen.
Meanwhile, the AFC said at a recent press conference  that when GPL made a loss before tax of $9.4 billion over the last two years, the taxpayers donated $12.5 billion.
They also asked what GPL did with this 12.5B. “GPL did not reduce electricity theft especially commercial theft which remained fixed for two years at 17.0%. This negligence caused $2.4 billion in lost revenue and GPL did not reduce line losses which worsened from 11.4% to 14.6% over five years. This neglect triggered G$1.4B in lost revenue,” the AFC claimed.
The AFC said further that in addition with anticipated decreases in the price of fuel internationally, GPL will save approximately $ 1.5 billion this year. Why therefore do we need to increase rates? the party queried.
