What are they investigating?  Is one to believe that people stole the money by depositing it in the Bank of Guyana?

Do you have an account at the Bank of Guyana?  Jagdeo? Ali? Granger? Uncle Tularam? Can you? Can they?

Don’t kill the messenger bro, take your argument to (TIGI) they said the cash should be deposited in the consolidated fund “The Transparency Institute of Guyana Inc (TIGI) recently reiterated its position that the US$18 million signing bonus, which was received from ExxonMobil, should have been in the Consolidated Fund and that there was a clear breach of the constitutional provisions when it was not placed there.”

Harmon would answer to the courts why he breached the constitution by not placing it there, also the courts might be interested to know if he got his million dollar yacht as a gift…

There was no theft of the signing bonus.  Read the article--all the money has been accounted for and Harmon doesn't have a million dollar yacht.  Any idiot can photoshop someone on a boat and make up stories about yacht or whatever.  You should stop laughing like a maniac and be more discerning about "news" being peddled by the corrupt PPP.

the governor of the bank of guyana knew of the account so nothing was hidden and there was no theft. they all breached the constitution at some point even charrandass, the man with a conscience

we want know how the ppp ministas can afford all dem mansions pon dem wages? how dem opening mall and owning housing schemes pon dem wages? how dem own hotels and property abroad pon dem wages? duh is wuh we want to know

imagine the ppp teefman lowlifes sell out we kaieteur and canje oil blocks secretly - worth billions - but barefaced enough to mek an issue about signing bonus

they better hope they stay in power forever. old man does still guh jail...19 fraud charges; law books theft

[TIGI quote]“Consequently, the money was not reflected in the Consolidated Fund as prescribed by the constitution. The arrangement, notwithstanding the fact that the money was not converted to private use, left the fund vulnerable to misuse given the lack of parliamentary oversight. The vulnerability of the fund motivated TIGI’s complaint to the SARA,” its letters said.

In setting out its position, TIGI added that the signing bonus should have been deposited into the Consolidated Fund for parliamentary oversight.

Since when TIGI is PPP propaganda? Nowhere in the article says the money was accounted for. It was not deposited in the consolidated fund so there was no parliamentary oversight how it was spent. Harmon could easily create [without parliamentary approval] a purchase order for three boats for the coast guard, one just happened to be a million dollar yacht like the motion scales, the complete order was never delivered. And viola like Patterson goldbracelet, one yacht was gifted to Harmon..hahahahaha [maniacal laughter]

Former Finance Minister incensed at insinuations and innuendoes

Oct 17, 2021 Letters

Dear Editor,

I refer to a letter, “Time for Justice”, penned by H. Yusuf and published in Kaieteur News, October 16, 2021. An excerpt from the letter reads, “It boggles the mind that after all the adverse publicity regarding the US$18 million bonus, which the former Minister and his Government vociferously denied, that the whereabouts of the monies are still an unsolved mystery.” Another extract reads, “One can only imagine that if the first monies from oil cannot be accounted for …”
I am outraged and incensed by the insinuations, innuendos and implications of these two extracts and his letter as a whole. If my memory serves me well, it was this same individual who libeled me in a letter published in Kaieteur News on October 18, 2019. You were forced to publish an apology in KN, October 25, 2019, while an action for damages in that matter waits the Court’s ruling.
In a very informative article in KN, October 15, 2021, under the caption “Govt. launches probe into ExxonMobil’s US$18M signing bonus”, Kiana Wilburg traced the origin of the signing bonus, its placement in a numbered and named account at the Bank of Guyana; and the subsequent closure of that account and the transfer of the proceeds, including interest, to the Consolidated Fund, in January 2019. All of this was detailed in the 2019 Report of the Auditor General.
On the basis of these facts, the average person would query the reason for KN publishing a letter, the very next day, in which the writer imputes improper motive to me, with respect to the signing bonus. In my view, it continues the public assault and assassination of my character. Be advised that I will not be cowed. I am prepared to take all necessary actions in this and other matters.

Yours faithfully,
Winston Jordan
Former Minister of Finance

Editor’s Note: It was unfortunate that the letter referenced was published. Indeed this was an error on our part and we hereby offer an unequivocal apology to Mr. Jordan.

You should try defending Harmon in court, tell that to a judge when asked to account how the money was spent - tell him the governor knew so that’s your proof there was no theft, tell him they all breached the constitution so that gives your client Harmon the same right, tell him he should go find out how the PPP ministers own mansions, housing schemes and property abroad so that gives your client to own a million dollar yacht abroad…hahahahaha [maniacal laughter]

There is no point arguing with you as you are being obtuse.  You peddle defamatory material while hiding behind a keyboard.  The following from KN should be instructive but then again one needs a brain for that:

So, from behind your keyboard you are accusing me of hiding behind keyboard, listen to yourself, are you that chupidy?
You posted a link to some apology to Mr. Jordan, for what? [Quote from article] In a very informative article in KN, October 15, 2021, under the caption “Govt. launches probe into ExxonMobil’s US$18M signing bonus”, Kiana Wilburg traced the origin of the signing bonus, its placement in a numbered and named account at the Bank of Guyana; and the subsequent closure of that account and the transfer of the proceeds, including interest, to the Consolidated Fund, in January 2019. All of this was detailed in the 2019 Report of the Auditor General.

If one was to believe KN kiana Wilber account you linked above is true, whyTIGI [six months later] on June 1, 2019 quote Harmon saying [Quote from article] “What the minister said was that it would be placed in the Consolidated Fund at the appropriate time. I believe now, based on what is happening with our budget, what is happening with the nearing of first of oil in Guyana, what is happening with the fact that we have established and made law the SWF [Sovereign Wealth Fund]—it is now an Act of parliament—that it is the opinion of the honourable minister that it is indeed a correct time for that funds to be placed in the Consolidated Fund,” Harmon said when asked about the decision.

Tell Harmon if he lend me the key to theyacht to cruise around sometime I can backtrack he out of Guyana with it when Anil drop the hammer pun he..hahahahaha [maniacal laughter]
