Bharrat Jagdeo’s 12 years as President of the Cooperative Republic of Guyana, has been “a commercial and industrial maze.”
This is the view of leader of the parliamentary Opposition Brigadier David Granger, of A Partnership for National Unity (APNU).
Granger was earlier today asked to weigh in on the completed review by the Ministry of Public Works, over allegations of corruption surrounding China Harbour Engineering Corporation (CHEC).
That Chinese Company has secured the US$150M Expansion project for the Cheddi Jagan International Airport (CJIA).
Granger was also asked to weigh in the level of Chinese investment in Guyana coupled with the repayment loan stock.
Granger said that with Jagdeo at the helm, the commercial transactions have been a maze and APNU is using whatever mechanisms available, to garner the relevant information on the several Chinese projects in Guyana.
He says that the dealings involving Guyana, Jagdeo and the Chinese have been heavily shrouded, hence the reason for Jagdeo to still be present at Office of the President, chairing meetings.
“Several things happened during the 12 year Jagdeo regime which is obscure and which we are still to discover…I cannot weigh in on them, I don’t know of the full implications at this time.”
According to Granger, “we will know what happened, we will know what happened at NICIL, what’s happening with the Chinese, what’s happening with lands, gold mining royalties.”
The Brigadier was adamant that “there is a lot that Mr Jagdeo has to answer for.”
