TABAQUITE MP Anita Haynes sees Cabinet’s decision to return to the open market to find a buyer for the Guaracara refinery as an act of contempt.
“Our country’s bread and butter is the energy sector, and the government’s decision to return to the open market, rather than working to ensure that one of our greatest assets remains in the hands of citizens of this nation, is their latest act of contempt towards the people of TT,” Haynes said.
At a news conference on Tuesday, both ministers of Finance and Energy Colm Imbert and Franklin Khan disclosed that Cabinet had decided on Monday to reject Patriotic’s bid for a second time and look for another operator. Patriotic has an option to put in another bid.
