GEORGETOWN, Guyana, CMC – A Partnership for National Unity (APNU) has defended its position regarding the multi-million dollar Amaila Falls Hydropower Project (AFHP) even after president Donald Ramotar appealed for an end to partisan politics in the wake of the decision by the major United States investor to pull out. The US-based Sithe Global has said that it would only go ahead with its US$150 million investment in the US$850 million hydropower plant if all political parties in parliament supported the project. The APNU, which includes the People’s National Congress Reform (PNCR) last week voted against the measure even though the smaller opposition party, the Alliance for Change (AFC) supported the government.
