Amid questions about the government’s use of a jet on which the pilot was held last week in Puerto Rico with US$620,000 hidden away, the government today said that the craft was used thrice by President Donald Ramotar and paid for.
The government statement follows:
The Government of Guyana has noted with interest recent media reports pointing to alleged breaches of Federal Customs regulations of the United States of America, by the Exec Jet Club Guyana which operates out of the Kaylee Service Station, East Bank Demerara.
The company’s services were procured on three occasions by the Government of Guyana for transporting delegations led by President Donald Ramotar to official State business overseas.
On all such occasions, payments were rendered for the charter of an aircraft operated by the Exec Jet Club, Guyana.
