Opposition Leader Bharrat Jagdeo yesterday warned that international organizations which disburse monies to the current administration during this period might not be repaid if his party forms the next government.
““Let me say to the international organizations …for the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) and all the others who insist on disbursing funds and approving contracts now that…they cannot claim that they have not been warned. It will have implications for repayments. I don’t think Guyanese taxpayers must repay monies that is being stolen with the complicity of some of these organisations,” he said at his weekly press conference.
He specifically mentioned a US$2,251,880 contract signed for the Design, Supply and Installation of a 150kW hydropower plant on the Chiung River, at Kato Village, in Region Eight and claimed that the project which is part of the IDB’s Sustainable Energy Programme for Guyana has elements of corruption.
