| The second round of Court action in the form of a further motion by Ramon Gaskin to challenge the US$15.4M contract awarded to Makeshwar Fip Motilall of Synergy Holdings Inc., has caused another stall in the parliamentary debate.This was confirmed by party Vice Chairman, Basil Williams,Wholesale Authentic Jerseys Outlet, who told media operatives yesterday during a party press briefing that because of the appeal, the matter is now sub judice and as such could not be debated by Parliament.During the party’s previous press briefing, Robert Corbin, the Party Leader,Cheap NHL Jerseys, had explained that because of the initial round of court action filed by Gaskin, the party had held back tabling the motion but since the Chief Justice had made a ruling, they could have proceeded.Gaskin subsequently filed a similar motion, this time to the Full Court making the matter sub judice again.PNCR Chief Whip, Lance Carberry,Cheap Jerseys, during a previous briefing, had said that “the administration displays a remarkable sensitivity to the questioning of any of its secretive deals with friends and cronies.”Carberry said that his party has never questioned the need for the development of the vast hydro-power resources of Guyana, for the provision of cheap and reliable “clean energy”, for the industrialisation of Guyana, through the forward integration and processing of the country’s rich natural resources endowment.He said that the problem his Party has is the “subterfuge of the (Bharrat) Jagdeo Administration, along with its friends and cronies, operating in the carpetbagger traditions of the old American Wild West.”Carberry said that the PNCR will continue to question and “probe these matters until the President and his cohorts understand and accept that the resources of the state belong to all of the people of Guyana and should not continue to be treated as if they are the property of the Administration to be used to grant favours to enrich themselves and their corrupt acolytes.”This,Cheap Jerseys, he said, is illustrative of the attitude of the government to the need for transparency, is the current controversy over the granting of the US$15.4M contract,Wholesale Jerseys 2017, to Synergy Holdings, “a company owned by a friend of the President, Fip Motilall.”Carberry stated that it is a known fact that, for a number of years, Synergy Holdings was appointed as the sponsor of the Amaila Falls Hydropower project, a role which many knowledgeable persons considered to be questionable.“The role has now passed to Sithe Global Power,Cheap NFL Jerseys, LLC….What is the relationship between Synergy Holdings and Sithe Global Power, LLC? What were the conditions agreed with Synergy Holdings for Sithe Global to take over the sponsorship of the Amaila Falls Hydropower project?”He said that it is evident that the Administration needs to provide the evidence to confirm its assertion that the “Synergy Holdings proposals were assessed as being the most compliant, viable and lowest priced, with the components of the proposal showing a clear understanding of the project scope and a comprehensive work plan of the activities in order to achieve the eight months deadline.” |
