Publisher of Kaieteur News, Glenn Lall, said that some of the architects of the project should be jailed. He identified former President Bharrat Jagdeo, Finance Minister Dr Ashni Singh, head of the Privatization Unit, Winston Brassington, and
He said that there was information that could have saved this country money. Motilall was not known to build any road. Further, Lall said, the award of the contract must have been a case of the planners seeking to defraud the people of Guyana. “For this alone they should be sent to prison.”

Kaieteur News continues to peddle blatant lies – Finance Minister
Georgetown, GINA, January 14, 2012
Kaieteur News cannot prove I made money on this deal and continues to be a newspaper bent on peddling blatant lies and half-truths and distorting facts in order to mislead the reading public, feed the needy egos of its puppet principals, and serve the narrow political agendas of their puppet masters, Finance Minister Dr. Ashni Singh said in an invited comment on that newspaper’s latest reports of issues related to the Amaila Falls racket.
The latest example Dr Singh cited is the newspaper’s repeated reference, most recently in today’s issue, to an agreement for completion of the road project between Government and Synergy Holdings, which the newspaper shows bears Singh’s signature as a witness. But on the completion agreement, which was released by Government, Singh’s signature does not appear.
Dr Singh reiterated that the original award of the contract for the construction of the Amaila Falls road was made to Synergy Holdings with then President Bharrat Jagdeo. He pointed that the evaluation of the tender bids was conducted by an unqualified technical team. He further pointed out that any previous statement by him on the matter would have been to defend the process followed by President Bharrat Jagdeo to award the contract, rather than to defend his colleague Fip Motilall.

Singh stated that it is most unfortunate that Kaieteur News and its principals appear to have descended to a new depth of depravity, in which they seemed to believe that it is somehow acceptable to fabricate stories, distort facts, besmirch characters, and insult persons in public service, freely and at will, with no regard for either factual accuracy or basic decency.

“I made no money from this transaction whatsoever and I challenge Glen Lall to provide the evidence that I did or stop telling lies about me,” Minister Singh emphatically declared.
