In yesterday’s edition of Stabroek News, it was incorrectly reported that both the Guyana Revenue Authority (GRA) and the Guyana Energy Agency (GEA) had been ordered by the High Court to reinstate fuel licences to Atlantic Fuels Inc (AFI).
It was in fact only the Guyana Energy Agency that High Court Judge Franklyn Holder had issued the order against, to reinstate licensing to allow AFI’s continued importation and trade of fuel.
The judge ruled that GEA’s Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Mahender Sharma did not have the powers of a Court to determine that AFI was guilty of breaching a regulation.
