REDACTED -IC Petrojam Investigation - Donations October 2019 final

Page 98 of 215 Petrojam Limited Integrity Commission October 2019 (6,000,000.00) as contribution towards the development of a Mini Stadium for the Camperdown High School. This letter was done on the advice of the then Minister with responsibility for Petrojam Limited, Dr. Andrew Wheatley. He had indicated orally to me, some weeks before, during a sitting of the Parliament, that the board of Petrojam had decided to do some special allocation to schools in various Constituencies and that I was being asked to submit a request for one of my schools. The Camperdown High School Mini Stadium was selected by me, as I had been in consultation with the school since late 2014 in the development of the project. … a) I have outlined above the details of my knowledge of the request which was made of Petrojam Limited. b) I was directly involved in so far as the letter written by myself based on the information from the then Minister, Dr. Andrew Wheatley . I never met with nor had any discussion with any member of staff concerning the request. c) As mentioned above, the request was only made after the then Minister, Dr. Andrew Wheatley had advised me to do so. The request was made on behalf of Camperdown High School Mini Stadium because I though and still believe the project to be highly justifiable. d) The request was made on April 6, 2017.
