The wicked tendencies of certain ambitious politicians

Feb 10, 2021 Letters

DEAR EDITOR,

Kaieteur News – I have been following closely the news you have highlighted in your newspaper concerning the sale of a certain Water Street property to BK Marine Inc. From the reports in the media, especially state media, the readers are led to believe that the transfer was attended by fraud and that it was one by the APNU administration. The mention of senior members of the APNU administration lends credence to the notion that this was somehow a deal done by APNU.
All of this is false. It so happens that in 2006 when the deal was done, I was consultant to the BK Group and I, together with Mr Tiwarie, met with Mr. Winston Brassington to finalize the deal.
All of this was done 14 years ago during the PPP/C administration.
This is disappointing and truly disgusting to now see how facts can be twisted to satisfy the wicked tendencies of certain ambitious politicians.
It is sad indeed. The sole purpose of this letter is to correct the false record. I was a participant 14 years ago. The matter is heading to court and all the pertinent facts will be presented and all those who participated in the 2006 deal will have an opportunity to explain to the judge under oath what exactly happened 14 years ago.

Yours respectfully,
Ramon Gaskin
