Government and Gas-to-Energy (GtE) project contractor CH4/Lindsayca have agreed on the third member of the Arbitration Board that will settle the current US$50 million dispute, a source close to the project said, and this now paves the way for the process to begin.
Up to late May, the two sides had been in discussions on who the third arbiter would be and they have now come to an agreement, the source explained.
Contacted for comment, Project Lead Winston Brassington said that he could not give an update on the project or arbitration process unless given the go ahead by the government. Vice President Bharrat Jagdeo had told this newspaper to contact Brassignton on updates regarding the project but it seems Brassignton was not made aware of this.
