He did say that his company undertook the feasibility study at its own cost. He said that CHEC was an investor company seeking business opportunities all over the world.CHEC also denied that the Guyana Government has halted the expansion project, saying that it was never officially informed of any halt in the venture to facilitate a review.Government, in response to newspaper reports on the project, had said that it has halted the CJIA project to facilitate a probe into the allegations of corruption against CHEC. Despite those statements, CHEC has reportedly been continuing to conduct geotechnical in areas around CJIA.The company also denied that the project was signed secretly in Jamaica in November last year. Rather the signing was done in Guyana in the Ministry of Works.CHEC, under heavy scrutiny by Guyana and Jamaica for two major multi-million-dollar contracts and a string of media reports of bribery, decided to meet with the local media to answer all questions pertaining to the project.Accompanying Zhongdong Tang, the CHEC’s Regional Director; to the press conference were Colvin Heath-London, Senior Business Manager; Jennifer Armond, Communications Manager,Wholesale Jerseys Outlet, and Huntley Medley, Communications Consultant.The Chinese company insisted that it is in the business of finding projects to invest in and had approached government in early 2011 to rebuild CJIA.

In all, the process took around nine months from start to finish for CHEC to seal the deal.In September, last,Cheap NFL Jerseys, the company claimed, China held a major economic forum in Trinidad establishing a US$1B fund to help develop the Caribbean. It was this fund that Guyana sought for the project.In November, days before the end of the two-term limit of former President Bharrat Jagdeo, a US$138M contract was signed between CHEC and the Government of Guyana.

Meetings have been held with the board of CJIA, the Ministry of Public Works, government, the Georgetown Chamber of Commerce and the Private Sector Commission.Regarding reports that the World Bank has debarred CHEC and its parent company from projects from that entity, the Chinese company said that this was an issue that was in the news since 2002 and has to do with China Road and Bridge Corporation (CRBC), a company which has since been taken over CHEC’s parent company in 2005. CRBC was accused of collusion in bids for a roads and bridge project for Philippines funded by the World Bank.Regarding reports that CHEC paid bribes to two Bangladeshi citizens, including the son of former Prime Minister, the company argued that it was a consultant that it hired that was involved. The PM’s son has been jailed in his absence.CHEC also denied that it was involved in giving bribes to a Chinese port official who has since been sentenced to death.
