FORMER Chairman of the Guyana Revenue Authority (GRA) and Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Guyana Power and Light (GPL), Rawle Lucas, has resigned.

Sources confirmed that he stepped down from the post on August 7. Lucas was appointed chairman of GPL in May 2019 by the former A Partnership for National Unity/Alliance For Change (APNU/AFC) Government.

At the time, however, the government was in a caretaker status, having lost a no- confidence motion in December 2018. As such, it was not supposed to be engaged in political appointments or the signing of new contracts.

Lucas is a well-known financial analyst.
