Turning now to the recent Senate Special Select Committee hearings, Portico Developer David Gegg has written to the Clerk of the National Assembly with an interesting clarification.
Gegg had told the committee in the hearing that shortly after the 2020 general election, he sent the Definitive Agreement to the new Prime Minister.
Here's how he put it:
Kevin Herrera, Senator
"When the new administration came in was it you who made them aware that this agreement existed or they came to you and said that it..."
David Gegg, Portico Developer
"Yes, I did. I wrote the prime minister and all the other senior ministers and let them know that we had this agreement, that it had been signed with the condition present."
Kevin Herrera, Senator
"So it was in November of 2020 - When do you believe you would have briefed them that this agreement existed?"
David Gegg, Portico Developer
"Probably a week later. I don't remember the exact date, but as soon as it was obvious that they had taken the reigns of Belmopan, I sent them an email with copies of documents I believe."
Janelle Chanona, SSSC - Chair
"Who were those ministers that you sent correspondence to and did you attach the Definitive Agreement to those correspondences?"
David Gegg, Portico Developer
"It would have been the prime minister, senator Coye, senator Mahler and senator Courtenay."
Well in his letter to the clerk, he says he mis-sent the email to a "jbreceno" spelt B-R-E instead of "jbriceno" - with a B-R-I which is the PM's email. He tells the clerk that because of this error the mail with the "definitive agreement" attached would not have reached the Prime Minister.
