GPL recently unveiled a new ad aimed at persuading customers to not steal that oh so valuable and much needed commodity.
Long long ago people started saying that human needs are limited to food, clothing and shelter but as time has progressed, shouldn't we also now consider our electricity and telephones as necessities as well?
Anyways as I said above, electricity is much needed for everyone and its too expensive for the majority of people. GPL is now telling the public to not steal electricity but to acquire it the proper (legal) way. Fine so far but what happens when someone tenders an application for this service but has to wait many many months to get their service. Is that person expected to live electricity free until the powers to be at GPL finally decide to look at the pending application? That doesn't make sense does it?
Moving on now, one of GPL complaints is that the cost of electricity is so high because people are stealing and the paying customers need to offset this cost, but would someone please tell GPL that most people steal electricity because the cost at which GPL supplies it is too high. I'm sure the idiots they have working there know that already though.
By no means, am I condoning the actions of those persons stealing electricity but GPL needs to get their house in order and provide a PROPER, RELIABLE service to the people of this country. Guyanese are already benefitting from having Digicel operating here it's sad, real sad that we cannot get a competitor for GPL, maybe then things might get better. I've given up wishing though, now I've resigned myself to a life of deep sadness. After nearly 43 years of independence, Guyana isn't going anywhere!
