Construction of the Marriot to continue despite the opposition’s motion to block financing
Acting Secretary to the Cabinet and Presidential Advisor on Governance Gail Teixeira said, today that construction of the Marriott will continue.
This is despite AFC leader’s Khemraj Ramjattan’s motion in parliament to block financing for the project.
Teixeira who was conducting this week’s post cabinet media briefing said the motion is not legally binding.
Teixeira like Finance Minister Dr Ashni Singh is contending that Ramjattan is solely concerned about the interests of a major financer of his party.
She added that the AFC’s attack on the Marriott project can be seen as an attack on the country’s developmental agenda.
