Bai Shan Lin’s parking lot constructed along the Lamaha Street embankment is ready for use by the Guyana Revenue Authority (GRA) but the head of the agency, Khurshid Sattaur has remained mum on the development and continuing questions about the propriety of the arrangement in light of recent controversies surrounding the Chinese company.
Sattaur last week refused to answer questions from Stabroek News in relation to the construction of the parking lot which has received constant scrutiny considering the nature of the deal between the autonomous tax collecting body and the private company.
Numerous questions were recently raised about the extent of Bai Shan Lin’s logging and duty-free concessions. Observers have also raised questions about the terms of its investment contract and its tax obligations therein.
The construction of the parking lot has long been clouded by issues surrounding the propriety of the project and given the recent furore involving Bai Shan Lin’s logging exports, observers are questioning why the GRA has remained silent.
Stabroek News spoke with Sattaur briefly on Wednesday and he repeatedly said that he had no comment and was not aware of any
