-driver relates how truck was burnt

Executive Director of NICIL Winston Brassington yesterday testified before the commission inquiring into the July 18 events at Linden and made representation for compensation for the destroyed Linmine Secretariat, which he said is owned by the company.

However, arguments were made that not enough proof of ownership was provided.
The National Industrial and Commercial Investment Limited (NICIL)—the government’s holding company-was yesterday presented to the Linden Commission of Inquiry as the transported owner of the Linmine Secretariat building in Linden.

APNU attorney Basil Williams asked Brassington if he had yet laid over the documents of incorporation to NICIL and if he had brought them and he received a negative response. “So we don’t have any evidence as to the status of NICIL.
