Have to give Patto his due. He was a very competent minister. The gold band often distract from what a good and effective minister he was. It is a pity that men like Patto have to tie bundle with PNC to serve their country...but that's what voters want...88% of them.

I believe that Sam Hinds gave electricity to every village in Guyana.
The PPP's plans are well documented.

Your belief is false. Show us your so called well documented PPP plans.
You've got to be drunk or just plain stupid. Rama you are full of kaka.
@Django posted:WHAT ENERGY PLAN?The PM is quoted as saying the new 46.5MW power generators currently being installed are “part of the Government’s plan for reliable electricity” – Hogwash!! What Plan?Like every other sector in the country, there were no plans pre-2015 – absolutely nothing. Our electricity sector was on the verge of collapse by 2015. It was barely being powered by generating sets, some over 35 years old, which of course led to the complete unreliability of the system. The coalition administration spent the next five years from 2015 systematically rebuilding and improving the power sector using clear and workable solutions.In five years under the coalition administration, nine new generating sets totaling 63MW were purchased (Anna Regina – 5.4MW, Bartica – 3.4MW, Bellevue – 1.5MW, Canefield – 5.5MW, and Garden of Eden (five sets) – 46.5MW). In 2015 the generating capacity of GPL was listed at 120 - 125MW, which means that in five short years, the coalition’s work increased the generating capacity of the company by 50%. Never in the history of the company has it enjoyed such a huge increase in generating capacity in such a short period.
While indeed these projects were built during the PNCR/APNU/AFC five year period - 2015 to 2020 - they were conceived during the PPP/C period in government as part of the redevelopment for Guyana.
Conceived, planned == PPP/C government period.
Built == PNCR/APNU/AFC government period.

As the saying goes “show me yours and I will show you mine”. All the above is a small part of the coalition’s plans, it’s time for the PPP to reveal theirs.
David Patterson.
Life span for generation plants are about 40 to 50 years.
Depending on their maintenance, poor maintenance leads to premature failure. I doubt anything is properly maintained in Guyana.
