Following the APNU+AFC government’s controversial purchase of two aged Skyvan planes in 2018, another used one of the same model arrived this week at a city wharf but it is unclear at what cost to taxpayers and for what purpose, as it seems to be in worse condition than the last two.
One source close to the PPP/C government confirmed it was for the Guyana Defence Force (GDF) but stated that it was for the GDF to disclose the purpose. However, the source reasoned that it could have been bought to be cannibalized for spare parts to service a similar model.
Efforts to contact the GDF proved futile as calls to their public communications representatives were not answered.
