Recently appointed General Secretary of the People’s Progressive Party (PPP), Clement Rohee, is saying that his party was not aware, prior to the publication of the fact, that Alliance For Change (AFC) Chairman, Nigel Hughes is the Company Secretary of Amaila Falls Hydro Inc.
Rohee made the disclosure at a PPP press conference held at Freedom House on Monday.
When asked if the PPP was aware of Hughes’s professional attachment to the entity, in the aforementioned capacity, Rohee’s response was that he was not in a position to pronounce on the Party’s knowledge on that issue.
The General Secretary was then questioned as to whether he personally knew of the development, to which he responded in the negative.
Rohee said that he was personally unaware and doesn’t think that the government was aware.
It was asked how the government didn’t know what was going on in its own camp especially taking into consideration that Amaila is the government’s most important project of the day. Rohee’s only response to this was “these things happen.”
Also at the press conference was Attorney General and Minister of Legal Affairs, Anil Nandlall who lambasted both Nigel and Cathy Hughes for their involvement in the very project government promotes.
He said that it was incestuous that the Alliance For Change (AFC) called to be informed on the project when it’s Chairman—Hughes—knows all that there is to know.
Nandlall refuted Hughes’s claim that he wasn’t party to any of the meetings between Amaila Falls Hydro Inc, Sithe Global and the government.
According to Nandlall, that cannot be true, as Company Secretary you must know all that is going on in the company and must therefore be present at meetings.
Nandlall and Rohee’s accounts conflicted, as Rohee said the government most likely didn’t know while Nandlall said that Nigel Hughes was at meetings with the government.
In the end, Rohee was asked to give an account as to whether the Amaila Falls Hydro Project was dead or alive. The General Secretary said that he could only respond using the old adage “You can heal the sick but you cannot raise the dead.”
