Where did Smart City Solutions get this $US10 million from?

Mar 03, 2017 Letters

Dear Editor,
I would wish to wholly commend the Movement against the Parking Meters, and other interest groups for the principled stand and genuine concern for transparency, fairness and lawfulness becoming a hallmark within the Georgetown Municipality. But I do believe that they are overlooking a few very serious elements in this whole melee for which attention ought to be paid.
For one thing, with our current focus on money laundering and the prevention of other financial crimes being perpetuated in our country, the Guyanese populace ought to be made aware with the provision of evidential material, of where Smart City Solutions, a company of recent vintage got the ten million American dollars it claims to be investing into the parking meter project here.
For another, the citizens ought to be given with details of how this USD 10 million is being spent, as to date all we have seen are a few second or third hand parking meters installed, some signs, some wheel clamps, some road markings and some meter maids running around the place. This could in no way be close to ten million US bucks. And for yet another thing, with the recent revelation that a key player from the contractor’s side has a criminal record in the US, it is important that character assessments be done of all of the major players of including on Mr. Simon Mosheshvili of Smart City Solutions and their affiliated companies. The risk of the city becoming ensnared into international financial crimes unwittingly is too great. No stone must be left unturned on getting to the bottom of this nefarious deal, and a deal it certainly is.
