The Georgetown Chamber of Commerce and Industry (GCCI) unequivocally condemns the deliberate attempt to sabotage the Guyana Power and Light Inc. (GPL) Good Hope Distribution Substation on Tuesday, November 10, 2026.
The Chamber regards this incident as a flagrant act of sabotage against critical national infrastructure, with potentially devastating consequences for the country and its citizens.
The GCCI maintains that any deliberate attempt to damage essential public infrastructure represents a serious threat to national security, public safety and economic stability. Such actions cannot be tolerated, particularly at a time when Guyana is making significant investments to strengthen and modernise its infrastructure.
The Chamber calls for a thorough investigation into the incident and for all those found responsible to be held accountable in accordance with the law.
The GCCI further underscores the importance of safeguarding critical national infrastructure and ensuring that the significant investments being made in the country’s development are protected.
Acts of sabotage against essential national infrastructure have no place in Guyana. The Chamber strongly condemns such conduct and stands firmly in support of accountability and the protection of the country’s national assets.
