Although he is correct regarding Pegasus, one has to wonder if Jagdeo conveniently forgets the slew of businessmen in Guyana who make a lot of money off of Guyana and then invests the majority of that money in business and pleasure abroad. Indigenous capital flight is synonomous with Guyana so why isn’t he castigating those Guyanese businessmen (the worst of the lot are the importers) who do exactly the same thing?

Why isn’t there a vehement outcry against those businessmen who import cheap goods to Guyana and sell them at ridiculous mark-ups to Guyanese and then take the capital to Miami to purchase real estate or to party there? Has there ever been a direct assault on these captains of industry to use their profits to start or propel the fledgling tourism or manufacturing industries?

You are right Durbie, the gov’t have no right to get involved.

Buddy’s was loaned millions of tax payers dollars to complete
his hotel, the gov’t need to let the guyanese people know if
the loan was repaid.

Guys, this is a private business and the government has no business getting involved. The only way the government should get involve is if the broke a law and from what I am reading there is no transgression of the law. Talkout, what full share the Givernment should get? Did the gov’t ever invest into this company? It is the mentality of the Government and Guyanese that we are not attracting private investment because you guys and the government is paying lip service to private investment.

Hope the new Pegasus owners/operators will uphold and improve on services.

the pegasus hotel has been tossed around so much it’s not clear who really owns guyana’s only premier hotel, and suprisingly the bankrupted lehman brothers also had a stake in it, so i believe they would want to get rid of the pegasus because they need the money.

It is interesting to note that Mr Jagdeo lacks the characteristics of a true statesman by making off the cuff remarks towards an internationally recognized franchise hotel. He will soon reap the error of his ways when the Pegasus fails to live up to the high standards when his cronies take over. I guess it is just another day in Guyana, a third world country which continues on a daily basis to look more and more like the mediocre run country which it truly is.

This can and will eventually get very complicated indeed. It is obvious that the business was robbing Guyana. But what about these new owners? Who are they? From what sources has the funds come? How can such a sale be done without the knowledge and collusion of all the stakeholders? Aren’t documents to be filed at the deeds Registry?
Soooo many questions………. Who has the answers???

i wouldn’t even bother read this story……..the last time i heard about the hotel being sold a few individuals went on the T.V and said (or lied) that it has never happened and it will never, now look what we have here, it’s not like they will give me a free room for a year so the hotel being sold…..i really don’t care but you will still get the same good service as usual.
