Opposition Leader Bharrat Jagdeo has said that his government received no money from Canadian oil company, CGX Energy to assist in the maritime boundary dispute between Guyana and Suriname but rather the company had paid lawyers and lobbyists.
Speaking to reporters last week, Jagdeo said no money was paid over by CGX to the government and there was no signing bonus.
“The situation was very different, at that time, the CGX had a rig offshore (in 2000), (a) Surinamese gun boat came and removed the rig. So CGX was directly involved in the conflict, it was an aggrieved party,” Jagdeo pointed out.
