U.S $18m Exxon signing bonus…First set of oil money & they attempted to steal it – Jagdeo

Dec 16, 2017 News 0 Comments

…he accuses Greenidge of misleading on ‘special fund’ claim
Opposition Leader, Bharrat Jagdeo, yesterday took the David Granger-led coalition administration to task for the handling of the US$18 million signing bonus received from global oil giant, ExxonMobil in 2016.

Opposition Leader, Bharrat Jagdeo

Government was forced to admit the existence of the bonus, spending the past seven days assuring Guyanese that the bonus is being held in a special Bank of Guyana account and is designated to be used for legal fees to settle the border controversy between Guyana and Venezuela.
However, Jagdeo stated that the monies should be transferred to the Consolidated Fund where it can be tracked and properly accounted for.
“This is a major problem. The first set of oil money I believe they are attempting to steal. One would have forgotten about this special account. It’s not recorded anywhere and suddenly we hear it went for legal fees and that’s the end of it,” Jagdeo stated.
He said that the bonus is similar to the Durban Park project which the Auditor General could not audit because there is no proper paperwork
“My worry is that if the money is there and it’s not in any of the accounts provided for, then the direction will come from a Minister to the signatories, approve a million dollars for legal fees and its gone…then it’s not recorded in any of our accounts; it can’t be audited,” Jagdeo stated.
Minister of Foreign Affairs, Carl Greenidge, had told the National Assembly that the Fiscal Management and Accountability Act (FMAA) specifically provides for public monies to be held in extra-budgetary funds and deposit funds until they are credited to the Consolidated Fund.
Jagdeo, a former President and Minister of Finance accused Greenidge of misleading in his statement that the bonus was placed in a deposit fund. According to Jagdeo, under the FMAA, the Minister has the right to set up the special account and it does not have to be paid over promptly to the Consolidated Fund.
However, on the establishment and operation of such fund, the Act requires that the Minister shall notify the National Assembly of the deposit fund and shall specify the source of the fund, the purpose for the expenditure from the fund, the banking arrangement for the fund and the intended investment policy for the funds.
“The Foreign Minister misled the whole of Guyana when he said that this money was paid into a deposit fund so it was legally paid over and it is in accordance with the FMFA,” Jagdeo noted.
The funds and the surrounding circumstances drew the attention of the Auditor General when a leaked letter addressed to Central Bank Governor, Dr. Gobind Ganga, and dated September 20, 2016, surfaced last Friday.
Finance Secretary, Dr. Hector Butts, made it clear in the correspondence that the Bank of Guyana should not treat the money as part of its reserves. The letter showed that a request was made for the opening of a foreign currency account to receive a signing bonus from ExxonMobil.
President Granger on Wednesday took responsibility for making the decision to secretly hold the funds in the Bank of Guyana. He said that the money is for a legitimate exercise – to be used for certain matters which Government perceives to be of national security interest.
Trotman had indicated that the money is being kept to assist Guyana with its border controversy with Venezuela.
Chartered Accountant, Christopher Ram was first to come public that Government had received a signing bonus.
At the time, Ram had claimed the amount to be US$20 million. Minister of Finance, Winston Jordan, and Natural Resources Minister, Raphael Trotman never admitted to the existence of the bonus despite being asked repeatedly by the press corps.
Granger had expressed the view that not all Cabinet Ministers were aware of the bonus.
“The Government can’t get its story right. First of all it denied the existence of the fund. Then the President said it’s just a small group of Ministers that agreed to this. Then the Vice-President [Greenidge] came and said it’s the Cabinet. Then he retracted that and said a small group of people. The record is there that they cannot get their story on that matter right,” Jagdeo noted.
Since the Ministry of Finance letter surfaced, Ram has called for the intervention of the police and an apology from Granger. The Chartered Accountant noted that the forced admission by the government is a shocking revelation of a conspiracy to deceive the people of Guyana about billions of dollars, involving a galaxy of ministers.
He said that there are immediate and longer term implications for Guyana, including a violation of Article 216 of the Constitution of Guyana.

The Cheddi Jagan International Airport is synonymous with APNU/AFC’s corruption

Corruption today has reached heights never imagined in Guyana. The list of blatant corrupt transactions since May 2015 has disappointed, nauseated and shocked people today. One transaction that has people talking and that has come to be synonymous with rampant corruption is Guyana’s largest single infrastructure project – the US$150 million Cheddi Jagan International Airport. Instead of people being joyous and proud over a spanking new modern airport, they are angry and disgusted over the mismanagement and corruption that have scarred the CJIA project. The CJIA project has become one more of the dozens of A Partnership for National Unity/Alliance For Change (APNU/AFC) ugly corruption scars on Guyana’s otherwise beautiful landscape.
The revelation this week that the project included a cost of US$35 million (more than G$7 billion) for sand used in the project, including for the runway, has shocked even the most ardent supporters of APNU/AFC. Independent analysts have estimated the real cost for sand for such a project should not exceed US$5 million. This means the cost was inflated by more than seven times the real cost. As unbelievable as this cost for sand is, there are other worrisome information that now has become part of the knowledge-base for Guyanese. In 2014, the project suffered a dramatic setback when APNU and AFC blocked the project in Parliament because, among other objections, was that the US$150 million budget was too excessive for the project that was designed. That project included an extended runway to accommodate bigger planes and new terminals with eight arrival and departure air bridges.
Soon after APNU and AFC became the Government, they restarted the project they had stalled in 2014. Shockingly, the very people who claimed the project cost was too high then reduced the scope of work, but at the same US$150 million cost. Instead of eight air bridges, the reduced scope of work ended up with only two. Visitors will notice four bridges, because, after public consternation, APNU/AFC added two more bridges, but outside of the US$150 million budget, having appropriated another US$750,000 (G$150 million) from the Consolidated Fund. In addition, instead of new terminals, there are now rehabilitated terminals. Adding salt to the wound, the project is now almost two years over the deadline and, as of now, is unlikely to be completed before the second half of 2019. Reportedly also, there are presently almost 1400 defects identified. How can we argue that the cost was heavily inflated, then reduce the scope, but not the budget? Something stinks to high heaven.
Truly most reprehensibly, the practitioners of corruption today were less than four years ago self-righteous anti-corruption crusaders. The leaders of APNU/AFC were the most vocal anti-corruption advocates, vigorously crusading against the then People’s Progressive Party (PPP) Government before 2015. APNU/AFC’s anti-corruption platform and their persistent, aggressive anti-corruption messaging resonated with people. They rode this anti-corruption platform all the way to victory in the 2015 General and Regional Elections. There were people who honestly believed the PPP was doing a good, even a great, job of managing the country’s economic and social welfare progress, but voted for APNU/AFC because they bought into their anti-corruption posture. APNU/AFC’s anti-corruption messaging succeeded in creating the perception of PPP’s corruption. Interestingly, after spending more than $130 million in forensic audits, no evidence of PPP corruption has emerged.
But the self-righteous APNU/AFC anti-corruption crusaders of pre-2015 turned out to be more corrupt than politicians of any other era in Guyana’s history. Whether it is the Cheddi Jagan International Airport, the Demerara River Bridge Feasibility Studies, the several medicine procurement contracts, the medical warehouse contract and many dozens more, averaging more than one per week for the entire four years since May 2015, corrupt transactions under this Government have poisoned development in Guyana. In fact, with negative dramatic events worrying people in Guyana every day, corruption continues to be among the top conversation topics in the country and always among the headlines in the breaking news. Adding to people’s anxiety are the continuing question of enquiring minds – what has happened to the US$18 million Exxon bonus and the G$30 billion GuySuCo loan?
In 2015, many people aware of the history of the PNC, the parent body of APNU/AFC, of corruption, unaccountability and authoritarian DNA, were willing to take a chance, hoping they had changed. Now just four years into their term in government, APNU/AFC proves the tiger does not change its stripes. The DNA of the PNC for authoritarianism and corruption has exposed itself and has betrayed people. Unfortunately, poor people have become collateral damage, but APNU/AFC is blind, deaf and dumb to their plight.

Now the desperation is screaming with the desperate need to dig up an action from 2017. DG threw out a reference to the CCJ a few days ago and it looks like the Coalition bottom feeders are losing their minds as they are reminded that the CCJ decision is still pending.

Now now Nehru; such such lovely praises for the PNCR/AFC group.

This may be an accounting error rather than a fraud. If they didn't record it in the general accounting ledger then there may have been other records to indicate that the information wasn't recorded in the general accounting ledger. If it was a true fraud then there may not have been any records to indicate that the money was received.
