Govt must make Sanata lease deal public – Murray

Member of Parliament Winston Murray is asking the government through the National Industrial and Commercial Investments Limited (NICIL) to make public the details of the agreement reached for the lease of the old Sanata Textile Mill complex.

Speaking with this newspaper last week, Murray, former chairman of the Public Accounts Committee of the National Assembly, said the people of Guyana needed to know who the investors behind Queens Atlantic Investments Inc (QAII) are. To date, the only person speaking with this newspaper from QAII is CEO of New GPC Inc Dr Ranjisinghi Ramroop.

“The government is on record as embracing transparency and accountability,” Murray said, adding that it should therefore not have a problem with making the full terms of the agreement available to the public.
