The Private Sector Com-mission (PSC) yesterday rejected a statement by the Chairman of Ramps Logistics that “dark forces” in the business body wanted him out of Guyana.
Ramps – whose parent company is Trinidadian – has been engaged in a battle for Local Content Certification so that it could benefit maximally from oil and gas contracts. It says that it has met all requirements and should not have been denied by the Local Content Secretariat (LCS). Ramps has since lodged a judicial review case against the LCS. It has also recently been charged by the Guyana Revenue Authority with 10 counts of false declaration. Ramps has however said that the charges are null and void and it pointed out that the court action had come just days after it had sought judicial review over the conduct of the LCS.
