The prominent supporter of the coalition A Partnership for National Unity/Alliance For Change (APNU/AFC) Administration, son-in-law of the late Forbes Burnham, and former Health Minister was handed the fuel licence by the Guyana Energy Agency (GEA) in November last year and is valid until 2025.
The licence has been issued in the name of Atlantic Fuel Inc.
Checks with the Deed Registry Department on Tuesday revealed that Atlantic Fuel Inc was registered as a company in February 2015 and was issued with its Fuel Import licence in November 2015.
Directors of the Company are Dr Richard Alexander Van West Charles, Lear Solomon Goring, Andron Alphonso and Ronaldo Alphonso.
The Company Secretary is listed as Andron Alphonso and its address listed as Lot 16 Sublot ‘A’ Mudlot, Kingston, Georgetown.
Checks at the listed Kingston address however, revealed that there is no storage bond for fuel at that location, neither any signage for Atlantic Fuels Inc.
In fact, the Kingston address houses, in addition to an office for Atlantic Fuel Inc, another company Adamantium Mining.
A missive posted outside of the Adamantium Mining’s operation has listed a notice purportedly from management.
That notice identifies Ronaldo Alphonso — one of Atlantic Fuel Inc’s Directors — as Adamantium Mining’s management.
When Guyana Times visited the location on Tuesday, employees were cagey with their answers, save to say that “the boss is busy at a board meeting.”
This publication was told that he would be unable to attend to the media at the time.
Asked about Atlantic Fuel Inc’s storage facility for its imported fuel, one of the employees suggested that fuel was not in fact stored at the Kingston location, since most of the fuel imported is used for the company’s mining operation in addition to its fleet of vehicles.
According to a copy of the licence seen by Guyana Times, the document is valid for 10 years and was inked on November 5, 2015 by GEA’s Chief Executive Officer, Mahender Sharma.
The Licence #: IL/0055 of 2015 grants to Atlantic Fuels Inc, permission for the importing/wholesaling of diesel in Guyana during the period November 5, 2015, to November 4, 2025 – a total of 10 years.
Permission was also granted to Atlantic Fuels Inc subject to the conditions of its licence, for the storage of diesel for the purpose of import/wholesale at 16 Sublot ‘A’ Mudlot, Kingston, Georgetown.
In June this year, Government scrapped a similar licence that was granted to China Zhonghao Inc under the previous Administration. That licence was dated to expire in January 2025 but was cancelled after Government alleged that an audit showed that the company only had a conditional licence.

This man should not moonlight on the side while having a job with the state. He should also has a firewall between himself and any of his holdings while employed by the state.  But we do not have any such rules that coerce propriety of office holders.

Correct. What is bad for the goose Omar Shariff is bad for the gander Van West Charles. Oil and water don't mix in one container/body.

It is in the DNA of the PNC to steal and destroy.

Where is Granger, or is it that he said that it is now open season.

Where are loudmouths Moses and Ramjattan, are they afraid to confront corrupt PNC backs ?

What a bunch of crooks !!!!!

Lets face it Cain, since the Pnc took over, the country has been on the downslide. All business people are crying losses. The passport lines have increased 10 fold and your diarrhea mouth still frafing to support these crooks in office.  Why don't you ketch sense like Gilly, Django and D2? They are doing the same thing that you accused the PPP.

Cain, you should not take this personally. The PNC's actions are not  reflections of your character but rather on an erroneous choice you made while in a drunken stupor. If you sober up you will return to your senses.

Good to see Stormy and Gilly acknowledging the corruption of this government.[Not only Stormy and Gilly. Other coalition supporters have freely and openly criticized the present government. The same cannot be said of supporters of the past PPP government.]

 But they still seem to have high hopes for jackass Granger. [Criticizing the Granger administration does not necessarily mean abandoning hope in President Granger.]

Remember, you can lead a jackass to water but you can't make him drink. Granger grandpa  do nothing persona is not what the nation need.  Where are all the plans of grandeur that you folks had when in opposition? We are still waiting, but the jackass leader is pinning all his hopes on oil.

Things might get so bad in Guyana that future elections will be the PNC vs. the rest like how it was during the period after independence. As time goes by we are able to better judge the difference between the present gov't. and its predecessor, the PPP/Civic. We cannot simply say they are both race-based parties and are the same.  The fact is one is better than the other.
