Former Finance Minister Winston Jordan says that hostility from the Chinese contractor for the Marriott Hotel when government tried to get information on it could have possibly delayed auditing of the annual financial records but it is now up to state holding company NICIL to declare what is reflected in its records on the hotel’s balance sheet.
With records showing that Parliament in 2017 received the last financial report for the Marriott Special Purpose Company, Atlantic Hotel Inc (AHI), which was for the 2014 fiscal year, questions continue to mount on why the public has faced a seven-year blackout on the financial status of an entity that was built with state funds. The hotel opened in 2015.
