Contrary to a report in yesterday’s Stabroek News entitled `Finance Minister proposal on GuySuCo Chair draws opposition at Cabinet’, Finance Minister Winston Jordan was not present at Tuesday’s Cabinet meeting when the proposal in his name for a new Chairman of GuySuCo was presented.
Stabroek News regrets reporting that the minister was present at the Cabinet meeting. However, save for the fact that he wasn’t at the meeting, Stabroek News stands by the report.
In a statement yesterday, the Ministry of Finance expressed “consternation” at what it said was an “incredible headline” on the story.
