Opposition Leader Bharrat Jagdeo has criticised Minister of Finance Winston Jordan for refusing to account for a total of $8.8B that was channelled to GuySuCo and the Guyana Rice Develop-ment Board (GRDB).
During the consideration of the budget estimates, which were approved early yesterday morning by the Committee of Supply, several opposition members questioned where in the estimates was the $3.8B that was used to bail out GuySuCo and $5B that was transferred to the GRDB.
The question was raised several times by opposition members but the minister did not address them.
