Jagdeo slams gov’t treatment of Troy Resources

Opposition Leader Bharrat Jagdeo on Thursday criticised government’s treatment of Troy Resources Guyana Inc and accused Junior Social Protection Minister Keith Scott of incompetence.

“They knew the company had cash flow problems. They knew this was coming but they are so incompetent they couldn’t deal with it,” Jagdeo said at his weekly press conference.

He went on to argue that it was clear that the company was already on the precipice and instead of mitigating the impact the problems would have on its workforce, government, through Scott, “pushed it over.”
