Marriott is a choke-and-rob deal – Harmon

President Donald Ramotar had in March said “I don’t think you (the media) will have to wait much longer” for word on the identity of the private investor who is plugging US$8M into the Marriott hotel.  But, well over a month later, the nation still awaits the revelation.
Even the Opposition has not yet been let in on the “secret” of who this private investor is. A Partnership for National Unity (APNU)’s Shadow Minister of Public Works, Joseph Harmon, yesterday expressed total dissatisfaction at the fact that even though the time is drawing near for the opening of this hotel, the government is still withholding the name of this key investor.
Harmon noted that his party was since last year pushing to get answers about the mysterious investor, but the President said that because of the nature of this investment, the government does not wish to make certain information known.
Harmon said that if the government will have a project like this come into completion without making known the investor, it reflects the level of contempt the government has for the people of Guyana.
