MP Khemraj Ramjattan, Chairman of the Alliance For Change (AFC) said that he preferred to spend Tuesday evening with members of the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association (CPA) who were here for a seminar for parliamentarians rather than participate in a debate on NICIL aired live on state TV.
The lively discussions focused on NICIL and its role in the planned financing of the Marriott-branded hotel to the tune of US$19 million, and how much money NICIL has at its disposal.
During the discussions, NICIL Head Winston Brassington, Finance Minister Dr. Ashni Singh and Head of the Presidential Secretariat Dr. Roger Luncheon rejected the figure of $50 billion as being held by NICIL
