Kaieteur Sports – “You negotiate with the people. And we are back and forth. They give their position. We say, fine, we give you a position. It was very difficult. You bet your bottom dollar. Our government led by President Ali, we made sure that we took some strong positions on negotiation.”

There are so many flaws and contradictions in those representations of Minister of Public Utilities and Aviation, Deodat Indar. It would have been more helpful to the PPP/C Government’s reputation if he had taken another position. He certainly opened up President Ali for renewed scrutiny. The type of critical scrutiny that is faithful to the destiny of all citizens. Not what is productive to PPP/C Government (and the president’s) interests. Minister Indar spoke in the context of the negotiations with Turkish powerboat officials for the continuation of electricity supplies at a mutually acceptable price. We at this paper take his own words and examine them beyond electricity.
