Moonilal tells Franklin Khan: Clear the air on Arlene Chow
Seeta Persad
MP for Oropouche East Dr Roodal Moonilal has called for Energy Minister Franklin Khan to immediately clarify the role of Arlene Chow, who he said had been appointed in a “most dubious and suspicious manner.”
Speaking at the UNC’s Pavement Report meeting at the Rio Claro Presbyterian School on Wednesday night, Moonilal said there is continued corruption at the Heritage Petroleum Company Ltd (HPCL).
“Since 2015 Petrotrin has been a playground for the incompetent to serve the corrupt,” he charged.
Two advertisements contradict each other, Moonilal said, as the company issued a newsletter saying Chow is the new CEO of HPCL, while the communications officer said she was the interim CEO.
"There can be no interim CEO who is recruited externally. Such a position is normally filled by an internal manager," he said.
So if Chow is a substantive CEO, Moonilal asked ,when was the position advertised? When did interviews take place? Who interviewed candidates? What is Chow’s compensation?
He wants Khan to tell the country whether she is temporary or permanent.
Either way, he asked, how did she get this position? Is Chow reporting to the board of Heritage or its chairman, Michael Quamina?
It seems Chow is a “concussion sub,” he said – a substitute who comes out to bat for an injured player, as Jermaine Blackwood did for Darren Bravo in the second West Indies vs India Test match.
“The PNM busy putting party hacks on executive positions in the Petrotrin descendant companies,” he declared. “It’s square pegs in round holes all over.
"They doing this to ensure that they sell off the valuable assets of the oil industry. Their party financiers and wheeler-dealers are queuing up salivating at the trough in heat, anticipating the asset-stripping show that is imminent . They want to get their paws on the multi-billion-dollar refinery.”
Moonilal demanded “on behalf of the people” that Keith Rowley and his “minions and personal lawyers keep their hands off the assets of the people, in the few days they have left.
"I demand that they do not sell off…even a Bic ballpoint pen owned by the people.”
OWTU wins Pointe-a-Pierre refinery with US$700m bid
Elizabeth Gonzales
THE Oilfield Workers Trade Union (OWTU) has won the bid for the Pointe-a-Pierre refinery with a US$700 million offer which Government has accepted, Finance Minister Colm Imbert announced this afternoon.
The former Petrotrin refinery operations – now called Guaracara Refining Company Ltd– was sold to Patriotic Energies and Technologies Co Ltd, which is wholly-owned by the OWTU.
Imbert made the announcement in Parliament saying Government saw Patriotic as the most suitable buyer over Beowulf Energy and a third company, Klesch.
Imbert said from the results for the request for proposals for the sale of the refinery, Patriotic was the only bidder that offered an upfront consideration of US$700 million. Beowulf offered a US$42 million lease per month over a 15-year term and the Klesch proposal indicated the only payment to Government would be through taxes.

Just as I keep telling you all trade unions are a sub division of PNM
They got paid when PNM stole elections and now they got another set of money given to them.
But don't worry now capped wells will be opened
Beowulf offered US$42,000/month for 15 yearsspeedmelter wrote:According to the newsday, the minister Imbert said that Beowulf offered to lease it at $42 million USD per month for 15 years. That’s 7.56 billion usd over that period and could cover the 700 mill owtu paid in 17 months. Why would they not accept that deal?

Much as you may despise them, they know how to make money. Who is going to ensure that PT is disciplined enough now to do that? Roget? Warwick?
