With Christmas just a few days away, executives of Patriotic Energies and Technologies Limited are waiting with bated breaths to see whether they will finally get acquisition of the Pointe-a-Pierre refinery and port.
In an exclusive interview with Guardian Media, one of the company’s directors, Ozzi Warwick, said they had yet to hear from the government as to whether their acquisition bid was successful.
Asked whether he believed the acquisition process could be closed before Christmas Day, Warwick said they remained hopeful.
“We believe that just as Christmas is supposed to represent hope with the hope of Jesus Christ, the closing of the acquisition process for Patriotic to acquire the refinery, will provide hope for the people of T&T,” he said.
UNTIL the controversial Public Procurement and Disposal of Property (Amendment) Bill, 2020 is withdrawn by the Government, the United National Congress (UNC) will not be supporting any legislation brought to the Parliament, said UNC Senator Wade Mark.
âWe will not co-operate with them until they bring back the original Public Procurement Act. We will isolate them. We will expose them at every turn. We will not co-operate with the PNM (Peopleâs National Movement) and the four horsemen of the apocalypse,â Mark stated yesterday at a news conference at the Office of the Opposition Leader in Port of Spain.
The senator said the amendment to the parent legislation by the Dr Keith Rowley-led administration had effectively legalised âthievery, banditry and naked and wholesome corruptionâ.
