Waste recycling MOU hits further controversy

-Canada company claims ownership of name

November 14, 2013 · By Johann Earle ·

President of Panther Recycling Corpora-tion of Canada, Michael Mosgrove has rubbished a memorandum of understanding that Guyanese-born Canadian citizen Mohammed Osman signed with the Ministry of Local Government and Regional Development saying that he, not Osman, is the owner of the name Natural Globe Inc.

On Monday, Osman was introduced as the CEO of Natural Globe Inc. at the signing of an MOU between that company and the Ministry of Local Government for the establishment of a recycling plant. At the ceremony, Minister of local Government Ganga Persaud made remarks justifying the need for the facility and pointed out that because the country has been developing so rapidly, there has been an increase in waste.

Does anyone in the PPP/C and the Opposition know how to use Google?

This is yet another corruption scheme, by the corrupt PPP government, to benefit its "loyalists," at the expense of tax payers.

Sounds like another Fip Motilall and Skeldon Sugar Estate in the making.

Does Ganga Persaud have any environmental background?

This is very bad. Someone should be fired. No more bottom house business.

these PPP folks are really into teefin...jeez

What is the big hoopla about? Is this operation being funded by taxpayers or is it a private venture?  

quote:

Persaud responded that government is “satisfied” with all the information which was submitted by the company.

In plain English that means the company outlined how much it was prepared to pay back in bribes who would get money, and which bank accounts would be stuffed full.

Wha ketch dem eye is de money. De man tell dem how he coming wid US$30 million fuh recycle de nonsense and try fuh pick any sense that might come out dem mouth. When people check dem can’t find de company nowhere. It ain’t deh pun line neither de hook. It ain’t deh pun de internet. De biggest laugh dem boys get was when dem ask he how nobody can find he on de internet. He tell dem that he ain’t deh pun de internet because he don’t put he company ad pun de internet. Well dem boys want to know if DDL, Banks DIH, de Waterfalls paper and de Ministry of Public Works does put dem company ads pun de net. De madness nah stop deh. De Canadian who is a Guyanese seh that he got personnel people all over de Caribbean. When people ask which part of de Caribbean he seh that he can’t talk because he company gun get blow away. This is de same man who sit down wid de Minister and mek big plan and sign deal. When dem boys ask Ganga de man seh that he satisfy wid wha de man talk. He seh that de government happy fuh deal wid mad people and con men. Ganga recommend and de government happy. He seh that dem only concern wid a part of de US$30 million. Once dem get dem cut, de man can put down coconut plant, artificial plant and even cocoa plant. Is that same attitude mek Brazzy and Bharrat bring Fip.

Where is Nehru?

Scrap this agreement now!!

he is Mohamed Osman

Did someone teef Yugli handle?

Nehru Yasuh Bhai. Here is my two cents. Fisrt, it is a KN  Report so I MUST be cautious. However, IF TRUE, it will be like Canecutters running the World Bank and UN. After Flip "THe JACKASS" Motilall something like this will be total STUPIDITY, INCOMPETENCE and maybe WORST.

The police called a criminal gang from Albouystown, The Hot Skull Gang. This gang of PPP tiefmen at the OP should be called the Numb Skull Gang. Haven't they learnt anything from the Fip Motilall fiasco?

You are so ignorant.

This is what they do....this is what they do!

Repu's son became a BMW salesman...with what experience? Then he became an e-commerse expert with 35 million US dropped in his lap; Ramotar's son is an expert in fiber optics with his experience in a book, he leads Guyana Fiber Optics project, Raj Singh never managed a rotie shop, he now manages GUYSUCO; THE One Laptop per Family was awarded to a Barber shop crew on Atlantic avenue. I guess you get a lot of experience with computers chatting while cutting hair! Then there was Fip, murti selling is apparently a great prerequisite for road building...every deal the make has a link to a government official with friends and family at the other end ie jagdeo on one end and the law books crew on the other with 250kUS in cash at stake.These are crooks of they complete sort. They do not care that they are crooks. It is their business paradigm.

Can you please come and Heducate me tonight?? I will wait by EC Car Park for you at 7 PM. After that we gun go play ketcha and give each other lessons. Butta Bing Butta Bang Butta FOOOOKOOO can also be used.!!

Minister’s daughter to invest US$15M as business partner – says Canadian investor Mohamed Osman

Govt. inks US$30M MoU with ‘Ghost Company’ for recycling plant…

- Company only registered three months ago, not six years as claim

- Media scaring away foreign investors – Govt.

Natural Globe Incorporated, the company, with which Government has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), to set up a US$30 Million recycling plant here, was only registered in Guyana three months ago.

CEO of Natural Globe Inc., Mohamed Osman

This is a clear contradiction to what the CEO of the Company, Mohamed Osman, told this newspaper on Wednesday. He had previously claimed that the company is six years old but public records have since revealed this as not being factual and that Osman only registered the company, Natural Globe Inc., three months ago, on August 13, 2013. He had said too that the proposal for the recycling plant was submitted 14 months ago. Osman yesterday told Kaieteur News that the company, registered locally, has as its directors himself, his son and another female, whom he refused to name. But in a surprising twist of events, the public records disclosed that the other director and shareholder is in fact Adrianna Webster, the daughter of the Human Services Minister, Jennifer Webster. The names on the business registration were Mohammed Osman, Adrianna Webster and Imzamam Osman. Adrianna Webster also resides in Canada. Osman told this publication that it is he and this female investor that would be putting US$15M each. He said that they are not looking for other investors and that they had all of the required cash and are just waiting on the ‘go-ahead.’ Asked about the source of his finances to back such an ambitious project, Osman claimed that he is the Vice President of a Canadian Company, Mogford Enterprises, and that he owns half of this company along with a man he identified as John Mogford. As he made this claim, a Kaieteur News reporter commenced an online search, to no avail, as no website for this company could be found and Osman was at a loss to give an explanation. Pressed further on the source of his share of the financing, he said that Mogford Enterprise is the parent company for a subsidiary called the Tadger Group International. While there was no website found for the parent company, one was located for what he claimed is the subsidiary. When questioned further about this company; details such as contact information, among other things, Osman said he could not recall at the time and would text Kaieteur News the information.

Minister Jennifer Webster

Efforts yesterday to contact the Minister of Local Government and Regional Development, Ganga Persaud proved futile. A woman identifying herself as the Minister’s Secretary repeatedly claimed that Persaud was in a meeting. The Minister however released a public missive yesterday evening which in itself exposed Osman and again contradicted his claims. According to the Minister’s statement, “Osman is also an active member of the Tadger’s Fuel Economy Solutions, which is also a key player for environmental management in Ontario, Canada…Mr. Osman serves in the capacity of Technical Adviser to this agency.” On Wednesday this newspaper had done a search throughout several Canadian business registration listings and nothing was found on Osman or his company. Head of the Presidential Secretariat, Dr Roger Luncheon in announcing the MoU last week, had said that it was a Canadian Company. The Company was later identified as Natural Globe Inc., registered in Guyana, with Osman as a shareholder. Osman had told Kaieteur News that Natural Globe Inc., has a Canadian parent company with several branches.  He was however unable to give this publication a name for this company, only to say that it operates in Ontario, Canada. When asked about the fact that none of the companies he mentioned can be found on the internet, Osman then said that they do not do any “internet ads.’ He said that this was because his company “uses innovative techniques which persons could steal.” Local Government Minister Ganga Persaud on Wednesday last had also said that he could not say for sure whether Dr Luncheon made a mistake by saying the company was Canadian. According to the Minister, he does not know if the company is registered in Canada, but he knows that it has a Guyanese registration. Questioned about whether any investigation was undertaken by the Ministry into the background and ability of the Company to undertake what it has promised, Persaud responded that government is “satisfied” with all the information which was submitted by the company. “We just needed a recycling plant which is in keeping with the needs we outlined,” the Minister said.   He said that he does not know about the technical capabilities of the company, or about its business in Canada. Meanwhile, the Ministry of Local Government in its public missive deemed the articles written by both this newspaper and the Stabroek News as incorrect, mischievous and misleading and questioned the intention behind the articles. The Ministry questioned if the articles were meant to scare investors from Guyana.

Minister confirms daughter’s link to ‘Ghost Company’

…denies claim by CEO that her daughter is US$15M investor

…distance herself from company but provides insight into the financial structure

Minister of Human Services and Social Security, Jennifer Webster, has confirmed the link between her daughter and the company pursuing a $US30 Million recycling plant in Guyana, but insists that her daughter is not the $US15 million investor. On Monday Government inked an MoU with Natural Globe Incorporated, the company, which has proposed to set up the recycling plant.

Minister of Human Services and Social Security, Jennifer Webster

Webster yesterday responded to the claim by Chief Executive Officer of the company Mohammed Osman, that her daughter, Andriana Webster, would be investing half of the money in the project. The Minister vehemently denied this and said that her daughter was only a director in the Company and not a shareholder in the project. The Human Services Minister yesterday held a press conference in the boardroom of her Ministry and distanced herself from the company entirely saying that she has no ties to it. She added that “every person is entitled to live his or her separate life regardless of the affiliation of his or her family members.” According to Webster, she does not exercise any control whatsoever over her daughter’s decisions in respect of her personal or professional life. “I do not have anything to do with this company, either personally or in my capacity as a Minister of Government. I in no way attempted to influence any decision-making process, nor did I ever participate in any negotiation process whatsoever in any form or fashion,” Webster stressed. Despite distancing herself from the project, the Minister did provide some insight into the proposed financing structure for the project. She said that it is not a case where a person’s personal money would be invested but rather it was the company that is investing the money. Minister Webster however failed to address the fact that this company was only registered in Guyana three months ago while the proposal for the recycling plant was submitted to Government 14 months ago. The Minister said that the company would be using a debt and equity structure to build the plant, meaning that the Company would invest a certain amount and the remainder of the money would be borrowed from a Bank. How did the Minister know that this is another matter up for contention? This, however, is in stark contrast to what the CEO of the Company had said one day earlier. Osman visited Kaieteur News on Thursday and said that the company had the entire US$30M required for the project. He said that it was he and the Minister’s daughter that would be making the investment.

Mohammed Osman

Minister Webster said that she would be advising her daughter ‘accordingly’ should it be proven that Osman did indeed say that. In defending her daughter, Minister Webster said that her daughter, Adrianna Webster is a 28-year-old professional. According to Minister Webster, her daughter is an information technology consultant who does not have that “kind of money.” She said that her daughter has been living in Canada for several years and is also a consultant for Mogford Enterprise. Osman had told this newspaper that he is the Vice President of Mogford Enterprise which is said to be the Canadian counterpart for Natural Globe Inc. Minister Webster claimed that the article carried in yesterday’s publication of Kaieteur News was inaccurate and malicious. A visibly upset Webster contended that, “the article was intended to expose her personally, her office as a Minister of Government, and the Government of Guyana to public ridicule and to perpetuate the perception of conflict of interest and corruption on my part and that of the Government of Guyana”. A point to note is that this publication’s article never dealt with the issue of the Minister having anything to do with the company Natural Globe Inc. She accused this publication of attempting to  imply or convey the impression that her daughter’s professional pursuit “is as a result of some undue influence exercised by me upon the Government of Guyana is not only erroneous, but is an assault on my personal and professional integrity and that of my daughter.” “She maintained that when the MoU came up for consideration at the level of the Cabinet, she was not present and in fact travelling at the time.” Minister Webster, read a statement she said was from her daughter who resides in Canada. In that statement read by the Minister, her daughter denied that she was the female investor providing US$15M to any recycling plant. The woman did admit to being a director of the locally registered company Natural Globe Inc. She continued that her daughter claimed that her work is not in any way influenced by Jennifer Webster, Minister of Human Services and Social Security in the Government of Guyana. “I have my own income and my own liabilities and my decision to work with the firm is merely on a professional basis…The proposed solid waste recycling project to be undertaken in Guyana, of which I am a registered director of the company— Natural Globe Inc, is purely being undertaken by the company…In fact, the financing for this project is already in place.” The names on the local business registration for Natural Globe Inc are Mohammed Osman, his son, Imzamam Osman, and Andriana Webster. Osman on Thursday told this publication that it is he and this female investor that would be putting US$15M each. He said that they are not looking for other investors and that they had all of the required cash and are just waiting on the ‘go-ahead.’ Asked about the source of his finances to back such an ambitious project, Osman claimed that he is the Vice President of a Canadian Company, Mogford Enterprises, and that he owns half of this company along with a man he identified as John Mogford. As he made this claim, a Kaieteur News reporter commenced an online search, to no avail, as no website for this company could be found. Osman was at a loss to give an explanation. Pressed further on the source of his share of the financing, he said that Mogford Enterprise is the parent company for a subsidiary called the Tadger Group International. While there was no website found for the parent company, one was located for what he claimed is the subsidiary. A statement from the Ministry of Local Government and Regional Development contradicted this position by announcing that he was merely a consultant with the company and not owner as was claimed by Osman. When questioned further about this company; details such as contact information, among other things, Osman said he could not recall at the time and would text Kaieteur News the information. He is yet to provide this information. Questioned recently about whether any investigation was undertaken by the Local Government Ministry into the background and ability of the Company to undertake what it has promised, the Subject Minister, Ganga Persaud responded that government is “satisfied” with all the information which was submitted by the company. “We just needed a recycling plant which is in keeping with the needs we outlined,” the Minister said.   He said that he does not know about the technical capabilities of the company, or about its business in Canada.

How many more of these deals exist that are causing government not to want the PPC?

Dear Editor, The news circulating regarding the credibility of a recycling business by Mohamed Osman, that will be costing taxpayers/workers millions, reinforces the need for the immediate establishment of the Public Procurement Commission (PPC). This is an embarrassment to this nation and a further indictment on the government in its continued recklessness and corruption in managing Guyanese resources.  The obsession with the Government to have Cabinet retain a no-clause objection in awarding contracts given what continues to unfold with Osman’s shenanigans is even more important why this responsibility must be placed in the hands of an independent commission reporting to the National Assembly only. In some societies the government or accountable officials will have to step down immediately. Had the PPC been established, this Osman corruption would have been avoided. If it were not for the vigilance of an inquiring media and the registered owner of Natural Globe Inc. the nation would not have been the wiser of this corrupt venture. This revelation reinforces the grave concern by sections of civil society and the AFC what the absence of the PPC means for accountability and wise use of our resources. It reinforces the extent of government corruption and why the Constitution must be upheld to protect against this. The opposition, more so the APNU, is called upon to give full support to the AFC’s position to have the Commission established without delay. It needs to be reiterated that the PPC is a constitutional body and every Member of Parliament having sworn to uphold the Constitution must make sure every element of it is being respected.  Any vacillating on the appointment of the Commission must be seen as giving tacit support to the corruption that is currently taking place. The Guyana Trades Union Congress (GTUC) recently raised the ire of some politicians when we spoke out against those whose positions were considered supportive of the Government efforts not to establish the PPC.  In holding those in parliament accountable to the Constitution some have decided which GTUC leader they will cherry-pick to speak to.  For those who believe the leadership of the GTUC can be divided and that their decision not to relate to the General Secretary will affect the GTUC’s positions they are advised that for as long as they continue to enjoy workers/taxpayers money they will be held accountable for their stewardship or lack thereof. This will be done without fear or favour for our leaders must honour and uphold the Constitution, the instrument they swore to uphold and which gives us protection. How many more of these same corrupt deals exist that are causing the government and those who support them not to be willing to establish the PPC? The Osman fiasco would have been caught at the level of the Commission had this been established.  Lincoln Lewis
