NICIL’s Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Winston Brassington, is claiming that his entity was kept out of the loop when it comes to the details of the Pradoville Two deal.

In spite of the fact that it was NICIL that funded the development of the land, Brassington told members of the media Monday, that he was not aware that the land was going to be allocated to members of the then PPP government or on what basis the land was going to be allocated. Brassington said, “That is not my decision or responsibility and I was not in the know.”

In 2010, the Bharrat Jagdeo Cabinet made a decision authorizing NICIL to privatize state lands. NICIL is the body tasked with overseeing the privatization of state assets. It reportedly spent more than $200M to develop the sea front community without the knowledge and blessings of the National Assembly and other relevant bodies.(Kaieteurnews.com/photo:Kaieteurnews.com)…[+]
