(Kaieteur News) – Hundreds of workers employed on Guyana’s flagship Gas-to-Energy (GTE) 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, according to documents and testimony obtained by Kaieteur News.

Leaked documents, digital payment records and accounts from workers suggest that foreign labourers at the Wales, West Bank Demerara project are allegedly not being paid directly by Lindsayca or its known partners. Instead, wages are reportedly routed through an intermediary company identified as MOAP Inc.

According to sources familiar with the arrangement, MOAP Inc. allegedly functions as a financial conduit for payroll, potentially bypassing statutory obligations, including National Insurance Scheme (NIS) contributions, while facilitating payments to hundreds of undocumented foreign workers.
