Atlantic Fuels Inc (AFI) has filed contempt proceedings against the Guyana Revenue Authority (GRA) and the Guyana Energy Agency (GEA) which had both been ordered by the High Court last month to pay in excess of $12 million in storage cost for 635,353 liters of diesel fuel they had seized from the fuel company.
AFI is seeking to have GRA’s Com-missioner General Godfrey Statia and GEA’s Chief Executive Officer, Mahender Sharma; both jailed and fined for not obeying the court’s ruling.
Following her February 3rd, ruling, acting Chief Justice Roxane George-Wiltshire SC had ordered the two government agencies to immediately release the fuel and pay AFI the $12.8 million it accumulated in storage fees, owing to the seizure of its fuel.
