Berbice Bridge and Marriott is Jagdeo and ee friends cash cow
De Berbice Bridge and de Marriott Hotel is two Jagdeo projects that he design. And to put he mark pun dem he call dem PPP projects. De PPP stand fuh Public Private Partnership.
That simply mean that govt join wid private people to put together projects to benefit all. All over de world both govt and de private investors does benefit.
But in Guyana Jagdeo, that scamp design de Marriott and de Bridge project plan fuh benefit de private people only.
De Marriott actually cost US$100M. De private people barely put in US$20M. De Govt put de US$80M. Guess what? De hotel is only mekking to pay de private people all of who is Jagdeo friends.
That is how Jagdeo; that scamp, Brassington, that fat crook; and Ashni, de shaat vagabond, design de hotel contract.
He tun and do de exact thing wid de Berbice Bridge. Dem seh de Bridge cost US$45M. De private people put less than US$8M. De govt put de US$37M.
De Bridge wukking fuh 11 years. It pay de private people, who is Jagdeo friends again, more than de US$8M dem invest so far. Dem never attempt to repair anything pun de bridge. Yet dem want increase so high that fuh de next nine years dem would collect more than de US$45 M wha de bridge cost.
Dem boys seh de Berbice Bridge contract and de Marriott contract got de founding fathers turning in dem grave.
Dem boys fully support de govt decision to tek over de bridge, pay dem back dem money and lock dem up.
Dem boys want govt to do de exact thing wid de Marriott. Give dem back de few dollars and dump dem in de Atlantic Ocean without any lifejacket or paddle.
Then de govt should offer de same shares to de ordinary canecutters, teachers, policemen etc. After all dem poor people gun be happy to know dem gun carry home an extra dollar.
As fuh Jagdeo retribution waiting fuh him over de things he do to de poor people of de country.
He tek de scampishness further. De man design de project in such a way that both projects couldn’t mek enough to pay de fat rate of returns he offered ee friends.
De contract seh he had to pay suh he use to tek money every year from de treasury to pay he friends.
Imagine you put de hog of de money in two project then got to tun round and push you hand in you pocket to pay de odda people who put in next to nutten. And all because you promise dem de gold spoon.
Talk half and remember when you got a cash cow you would do anything to protect it.
