The eight ghost companies as reported by TSI are: Logistics & Multi Investments – $3.5 million, Amwata Shipping & Boat Building – $2.5 million, Triple JMR Enterprises – $1 million, ST Shipping – $1.5 million, Island Link Shipping – $1.5 million, Ebtide Shipping – $1.5 million, Ressy Boat Shipping – $1.8 million and PS Shipping Transport Services – $1.5 million.
The Opposition Group says the Government through the Ministry of Infrastructure Development (MID) must tell the truth and reveal true identities of these recipients.
It says it is disgusting and shocking that the Government has given away $14.8 million to ghost shipping companies who have no record of existence or whatsoever according to the Company Haus.
The Parliamentary Opposition also questioned what criteria’s have been used to select and determine successful applicants and how these companies were selected and on what grounds.
It urges the Government through the MID to speak up and tell the truth as this is highly questionable and raises a lot of questions of serious corruption within the ministry and the Government as a whole.
The Opposition Group calls on the Leadership Code Commission to investigate these serious allegations of corruption within the MID.
