Former president Donald Ramotar said yesterday that the eight containers of steel belonging to fired specialty hospital contractor Surendra Ltd had been examined by the Guyana Revenue Authority (GRA) hence his conclusion that the value was $800 million.
He therefore rejected the claim of businessman Brian Tiwarie that the containers contained only a small amount of steel.
Ramotar also denied several other claims made by Tiwarie last week. In a letter published in today’s paper, the latest in a back and forth between the two, the president said he had taken a stand against poor work and other shortcomings by Tiwarie’s company BK International and this was why Tiwarie is now making allegations against him.
