(Kaieteur News) – Leader of the Opposition and We Invest in Nationhood (WIN) party, Azruddin Mohamed has called for a thorough investigation to be conducted in the alleged flouting of Guyana’s labour and tax laws by the Gas-to-Energy (GTE) contractor, Lindsayca.

The foreign company was hired to construct a Natural Gas Liquids (NGL) facility at Wales to treat gas that will be transported to the site, as well as build the country’s first gas-fired power plant, which is expected to generate 300-megawatts of electricity.

It was recently reported that hundreds of foreign workers employed at the project are allegedly working without valid permits and being paid through a third-party company in a system that may be circumventing Guyana’s labour, immigration and tax laws.
