A simple matter that exist in all countries of the world ...

1. Organizations place a cost for providing copies of documents.

2. There are situations when certain information are deleted/removed from the presented information.

Correct!

sounds like they are hiding something

Most legit organizations don't charge a fee for such info

That is the practice of companies and there is nothing to hide.

If they are hiding something why they are willing to release the company documents for a small handling fee? If the want is badly just pay and get it.

True dat but Ray having problems with logic.

I guess the BRB company's dealing is a state secret. You knee benders have absolutely no shame it these transparent dissimulation of thief. You need to be more circumspect with jeopardizing your immortal soul with bargaining with the devil.

The BRB is not fully controlled by the State as yet.

I am sure there would be other excuses if ram comes up with hndling fee

Whether governments or private enterprises/industries, there is a process and fee for accessing information, whether in Guyana or other parts of the world.

It is a crucial transportation infrastructure project into which the government dumped most of the up front cost. It is a leech scheme. That being said even as a BOOT project there must be reporting to validate the pirate's booty they are asking of poor people to cross.

Imagine you having to pay a days salary to cross over into Manhattan and then you see why there is a need to validate the cost. Every municipality supplies that to their respective public service committees when they want to qualify a rate increase. Only in banana republics as ours these things can happen when a necessary public oversight obligation is resisted by people squatting on crucial national assets.

I almost forgot you learned crookishness well under Burnham

Can you base your facts on speculation? We have no choice than to give the offer to release the documents on the term outlined the benefit of doubts.

Idiocy and indulgence with misinformation seem to be your trait.

they fulla shit...bet yuh ass they say is over 2000 pages

they are crooks!

a love for crooks seem to be yours

Deal with facts and real issues rather than your fantasies.

it is a fact you learned crookishness under Burnham, thus you support the crookishness in the article you posted.

ha ha ha...that man is talking of fantasy when he is dancing on the edge of a clown!!! Senility is a bitch...he cannot be that crooked ...but then you say he has training in the dark arts!

Then pay $50,000 per page times 2000. That is all.  

This is so moronic. 

Go easy on him, he is old as a prune,  deaf in the ear, blind in one eye walks with a walker. Additionally, he lives in an industrial park in an upscale loogie or what looks like a loogie.

Correct! The ole fool got it all wrong.

Wow .. Danyael again describes his lifestyle.

Thank you. I now understand y his comments are warpped. The ppl of that era were physiologically damaged. Lack of good nutrition. Explains the state of mind of alot of Guyanese. During that period, thiefing was the norm, nothing was safe. Even, if it was anchored into 3 feet of cement. It is not difficult now to understand y many on here support the PPP corruption. People and product of the period.

BBCI justifies $50,000 per page for public documents - says process requires staff searching archives

October 11, 2013, By KNews, Filed Under News, Source

The Berbice Bridge Company Inc. (BBCI) is claiming that the $50,000 ‘per record’ that it has asked Chartered Accountant, Christopher Ram, to pay in order to access its records, is because it would require a staff member having to search its archives.

Company Secretary Stephen Rambajan, and a man who described himself as the “CEO” but refused to give his name, yesterday initially resisted providing answers on the $50,000 request.

Rambajan told Kaieteur News that the company cannot divulge any further information without permission from Ram.

When contacted, Ram said that it was absurd for Rambajan to say that he, Rambajan, could not give out the information.

“I cannot tell them who to talk to nor do I have to give permission for them to speak to anyone,” Ram said.

Another call was then placed to Rambajan. However this time he said he could not speak on the matter and directed the reporter to question the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Berbice Bridge Company Inc.

As instructed, the reporter called back and requested to speak to the CEO. The telephone call was transferred to a man who identified himself as the Company’s CEO.

“I’m the CEO. Do you have to get my name?” asked the man on the other end of the line.

According to the man, the Berbice Bridge has remained professional with Ram, and that it was he who should be the one querying why he has to pay that amount.

It was maintained by Kaieteur News that once the information is out in the public domain, one has the right to question the Berbice Bridge Company.
The “CEO” insisted that it was Ram who has the right to question them, not Kaieteur News.

He then said, “I don’t know if you would be quoting this, but if you must know, there is a cost that the BBCI has to endure because staff would have to be taken to look and get information from the archives.”

The Berbice Bridge Company Inc. on Wednesday last, sent a letter to Christopher Ram demanding $50,000 for access to documents of the company.

The fiasco began when Ram had discovered that certain documents filed by then Company Secretary Winston Brassington may have been deliberately falsified to conceal information on the stakeholders of the company.

Ram told Kaieteur News that alternative sources of information suggest that one of the shareholders is a company headed by Brassington who also heads NICIL, the government-owned company.

Raymond.....like yuh vex because

Burnham never recommend you as a thief.

and give you a personal Card dat ee sign.

this is a real cowboy operation....I still maintain that they fullashit

Whether in the US_of_A, Canada, Britain, Guyana, etc., the process is the same.

dude, plenty folks can get info in the countries you speak of without paying...suh ress up

Correct for non-payment of fees for certain information.

However, for the specific data in this instance, whether in the US_of_A, Britain, Canada, Guyana, etc., a fee is required.

AN independent audit should be done....wonder why there isn't one

The joint opposition needs to push for an enquiry.

Bullshit!  If those filthy rotten scumbags have nothing to hide, they should be happy to show the documents and prove the opposition wrong but NOoooo.  These are filthy lying thiefin creeps. shame on those who support them, phoeey!

Go to an organization in Canada; seek the same type of information and you will receive similar reply.

Publicly traded companies must by law provide the information. 

D_G, you are an extraordinarily stupid, poorly informed and poorly educated man attempting to be 'disingenuous' in service to a notorious criminal enterprise

i suggest you get up off your arthritic knees and wipe your mouth; leave that lowdown stuff for kwame

More disinformation. 50K per record. A record comprise of an entire document. We must never let the likes of Chris Ram and his cabal attain power as they are pseudo intellectuals and would not be able to interpret a simple request on an international arena. 

Calling you a jackass would be an insult to that breed.
