What next. Current went 5 times last Thursday in Betty Estate. enough of this BS

Chittick is not in charge of the power plant he is Brooks boy so he will say whatever Brook and Steve want him to say. Where is Sarous? he is the Power Plant Manager guys stop playing games and tell the truth. Brooks have no clue what he is doing and as long he is there we will continue with our actions. Brooks got to go.

boom boom is next ???

What was the reason for the press release? Giving us some B.S. story as if we must say, oh ok, poor GEBE, we understand. I thought the idea of bringing in new generators was to solve the power outages. Now with these new ones the problem became even worse and telling us that this is nothing new? So are we to be happy living in the dark ages? Come on man, someone has to deal seriously with this nonsense.

Where is Brooks now. When he was put away for that short period things were a bit normal, he comes back and this is the crap we get. I hope the Chamber and all else get to wipe them out. I don't mind living in the dark if GEBE closes but as long as they are open we definitely do not have to take this crap. What does Govt. intend to do about this? Brooks has got to go. Bout he saving money for GEBE .... what about us the consumers who have to keep replacing our damaged items? How many homes will start having electrical problems because of this. Please stop this crap now.

why buy additional, what happen to those they just baught???

Ok this is my solution. Plan A: Let GEBE hook up their lines on French Side Electric system until GEBE get their problem fixed. Or plan B. GEBE distribute generators to all consumers until the problem is fixed. Or Plan C: Fly in some experts to take over and teach the GEBE workers how to maintain a power plant. Pan D: Every time GEBE cuts power, cut Brooks' salary. Make him feel it in the pocket. This nonsense got to stop. When my fan stop at nights, the mosquito's bite real hard and I cant sleep. Hot and thing. I wake up, go to work and sleepy on the job.

What a bunch of BS. Who does that team think they are kiddin' Spend over 30 million on new engines and "it's nothing new" that they fail? Chittick should be suspended just for saying foollishness like that. What an insult to the intelligence of grown folks.

Where is Mr. Brooks in all this. He allegedly gave himself a raise as he though he was doing such a good job as managing director and this is what we get for it?

The slogan on G.E.B.E.'s website states "Powering St. Maarten for over 49 Years" and for 49 years there is no more knowledge and competence to provide stable electricity for 16 square mile? It's only 16 square mile that they have to provide electricity for, for crying out loud.

What in the world is the Executive Council doing about that on behalf of the people of St. Maarten who have to deal with these issues? Life is stressful enough to have to constantly deal with all this electricity interruptions. Enough already!!!!!

GIVE EVERY ONE SOLO POWER AND STOP ROBBIN US

yuup nuthin but bs...gebe tryin to tell us that power outages is normale and theres nuthin they can do about it...so we must continue payin in full for intermitant power and accept that as reality?! is gebe trying to prepare us for more outages?
and of course brooks not there you only see him for photo ops and trough his lawyer when his work (more like lack of it) is under scrutiny...
what i get from this is that as long as brooks is there dt expect continuous power

Brooks in Statia Partying and we here with no electricity. HAHA check him out all smiles in the Daily Herald page 13.

Stop bashing your own, let us get behind Brooks and sue those people that sold us the new generators. We were sold lemons and Brooks is trying to make lemonade but it is costing him(distrust by the people) and us(money). Food for thought!

@attitude change...more like a wake up call is what we need...aint because he from here that he innocent....the only defence he got is he from here and everybody against him well i from here and guess what tuff luck..if you can't manage gebe step down and stop blaming everyone else!!
he just givin us all a bad name with his incompetence (never around allways off island when something happens even if he knows gebe is in trouble...who left right before gebe ran out of fuel??? MR BROOKS)

oh i forgot gebe sayin its all normal that generators faulty they all faulty and most likely he gonna order new faulty generators aswell

Listen, people buy lemons from their own choice.They bought some old generators to fool the people now it backfire on them.
Everything comes with a Guarantee so who they think they fooling.
Let whoever bought those old things refund the money or jail them.

GEBE...current outage for more than 45 times the past two weeks in februari in the south area of sxm...and still the bill have to be paid in full...and on time..

Give we the people the choice to hook up with the French electricity company..and or give them the permission to line us out on the Dutch side...
Check good all the salaries of those so called management of GEBE..bonussen etc..what a waste of time..a set of amateurs...

I am a resident of the french side and we rarely don't have electricity and if it goes it's only gone for about 5 minutes. We even have electricity during hurricanes. Many Dutch companies are allowed to provide their services on the French Side for example Carib Serve, Telcell and Sheriff Security. The Dutch and the French need to put their PRIDE aside and do what's best for the ISLAND as whole. The economy on the french side is suffering but they know how to provide the necessities like medical care, light and water. I suggest Dutch Residence petition to have EDF provide electricity on the Dutch Side.

It's time that someone stands up to GEBE. We are now living in a world were we can no longer except sorry as an excuse. Coming from as large company as this one it is very sad. We pay daily so much in electricity. Whats even worst is the customer service that we get from the cahiers as well. Plus on that we are out of electricily. Sorry this cannot go on on. GEBE is to big and to advance to be having these powers outages they need to fix it .

>>>light???? stuppppsss...........no competition so wha u expect when u have no choice>>>beggers r no choosers.....counting on 2011 for new generator so we gon go tru hell in 2010 if 2009 was not bad enuf with d outages.......dmn?????????

>>>>>>this murky, muddy...light brown water??????daily???/ i am always in a doubt when openin the tap for wat i might find in that glass............i wish my washin machine could decide not to take in that filthy water to do it's own chores......solution i started to collect rain water

yeah edf here would be great only thing is its so cheap cuz its massively subsidized which makes sense, economy runs on power no power no economy...also i think they also have performance goals and if they fail (as in a power outage) they are penalised....oh and i also beleive in the french system everyone has a right to a minimum of power (even if you dt pay your bill they got to leave enough on for a couple light bulbs and your fridge) but thats french people they fight a lot for what they have we on the dutch side just complain and never take to the streets (no wonder brooks dt give a s**t)

why have this news confrence? talking a bunch of crap at the end of the day we still have to deal with the power outage and on top of that a very high light bill at the end of the month!!i am not impressed by these three jockers.why is the new begining goverment not doing some thing about this gebe problem??

@SOLUTION. you have me and my sis cracking up with your comment. thanks for the laugh. It true mosquitoes don't make jokes. (rofl)
