“BE a man! Be a man and publish the information which you claim you have!” This challenge was issued by General Secretary of the People’s Progressive Party, Mr. Clement Rohee, to Minister of the State, Mr. Joseph Harmon, in regard to providing the evidence, including names of officials of the former Administration and their relatives who were allegedly still taking their vehicles for “free gas”.At that party’s weekly press conference, held at Freedom House, Rohee stressed that Harmon needs to provide evidence that officials of the former Administration and their relatives were allegedly still taking their vehicles for “free gas” although the PPP/C was no longer in Government.
A very agitated and admittedly “disgusted” Rohee explained that his party would not tolerate Harmon or anyone else from the new APNU+AFC Government making statements against the PPP/C and its members. He noted that if Harmon does not provide the list of names which he claims he has, the PPP/C would seek other avenues to obtain that list, if indeed it exists!

At one of his recent weekly press conferences, Minister Harmon had disclosed that enough evidence exists to conclude that the Guyana Oil Company’s (GUYOIL’s) credit facility for authorised vehicles had been heavily abused.

The Ministry of the Presidency has since asked GUYOIL to submit its invoices along with statements, and has said that persons found guilty of abusing this facility will have to face the consequences.

Harmon has said that Government will ensure that those from the former Administration who accessed the facility along with their family members and friends will pay for the fuel they would have collected.
