NICIL may be a thief

May 16, 2012 Letters

The Editor,
This latest answer from Mr. Winston Brassington in relation to the details about the money accumulated by NICIL is a show of disdain and disregard for the citizens of Guyana.
From our standpoint at City Hall, we had a taste of the Brassington/NICIL greed and injustice.
NICIL by its unique process disposed of GNIC and ignored the requirement to pay taxes of $70 Million due to the Mayor and City Council. We sought recourse of the Courts but are yet to receive one penny.
What we need from Mr. Winston Brassington (we heard he had retired) are the sums paid to NICIL since its establishment with dates of each and every transaction; Was the agreed sum paid in full, if not who still owes and how much; are they paying any interest on the balance; what means were employed by NICIL to decide on the several buyers; how was the purchase / selling price arrived at; was there an official valuation, if so, by whom, or was the Government Valuation Division involved; if there was a valuation the people need to put it alongside the actual price paid / received; was the money paid in Guyana dollars; which bank or banks does NICIL use to hold its obviously vast sums; who are the signatories to this bank account; what does NICIL do with its money; why has NICIL failed to satisfy all of its financial obligation to the Georgetown Mayor and City Council in relation to moe than 12 properties located in the City for taxes are overdue.
The Chronicle, Channel 11 or radio will not publish this letter, but if the people whose property NICIL disposed of fail to obtain satisfactory answers, I will propose a signature campaign, confident that many PPP supporters, fed up with this apparent rape will come forward and sign..
Further, if more information comes out, the police must be told to act.The law required all property owners to pay all taxes due before selling. The Government for reasons best known, exempted NICIL from this obligation, but this did not remove the legal requirement to pay their due taxes.
All of the Holy Books support the injustice, ‘thou shall not steal! The God of the Muslim, Hindu, Christian, Bahal, Buddist or Rasta grants no exception.
Hamilton Green, J.P.
