The sale by the National Industrial and Commercial Investments Limited (NICIL) of two Guyana Sugar Corporation (GuySuCo) transmission towers to a Bobby Vieira’s Multicultural Communica-tions Inc. was done without public tendering and months after the deal they have not been removed and one has been leased at its present site, sources say.

“In addition to GuySuCo not being aware that these items were sold since February of this year, there was no public tender for these, none. There has also been nothing gazetted so we are not sure what is happening with our assets,” a source at GuySuCo with knowledge of the sale told Stabroek News yesterday.

This newspaper also understands that one of the towers is currently being leased by Vieira to a popular TV cable service provider but it is unclear for how long that arrangement has existed.
