Technical experts studied Ansa McAl proposal

The government has denied that the bio-fuel Memoran-dum of Understanding (MoU) signed with Ansa McAl was “secret” and said that the Trinidadian conglomerate was selected after their proposal was scrutinized by technical experts in the field of bio-energy.

“To suggest this was a secret deal is not only misleading but a gross misrepresentation of the reality and part of the continued campaign to cast aspersions on the PPP/C Government,” the statement issued through the Government Information Agency said. The signing of the MoU, which was done on September 30 last year, was never announced publicly here and it was only last week reported on by the Trinidad Guardian
