GRAND BAHAMA, BAHAMAS – Protestors gathered for a word of prayer before marching across the street to share their disappointment with Grand Bahama Power Company (GBPC) on Monday.

The group held up their placards, some demanding that the GB Power Company “gotta go!!”

The move comes as residents on the island have been complaining about frequent power outages, high electricity and GBPC’S request for an increase.

A familiar face leading the charge Richard Johnson, who says he is a West Grand Bahama native, maintains the protest is not a political move.

Senator James Turner and Central Grand Bahama Member of Parliament Iram Lewis also adding their voices to the movement.

Activist Maria Daxon says GBPC’s behavior is unacceptable.

Former Pineridge MP Frederick McApline sharing what he believes is a solution to the issue.
