Former Head of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Dr Vincent Adams says that Parliamentary Affairs Minister Gail Teixeira lied about his role here when she appeared yesterday before the UN Human Rights Committee.
In a letter addressed to the Human Rights Committee, Adams, who was fired by the PPP/C government, said that while listening yesterday to responses to its questions with respect to Guyana’s EPA, “I was flabbergasted by what appeared to be her carefully prepared answer littered with gross untruthfulness”.
He charged that it was a complete fabrication and disrespectfulness by the Minister towards the Committee, when she barefacedly proclaimed that he “oversaw the 2016 Exxon/Government of Guyana Production Sharing Agreement (PSA) which was widely criticized”; and that he was responsible for the hiding of some sort of US$18 Million signing bonus.
