On one hand, the APNU+AFC administration is faced with the decision to shut down the National Industrial and Commercial Investments Inc. (NICIL), as it had lobbied for innumerable times when it served in the Opposition.Opposition Leader, Bharrat JagdeoOn the other, the Government could choose to go back on its promise to the nation and keep the entity it deemed to be at the heart of some of the most corrupt deals in Guyana’s history.Either way, Opposition Leader Bharrat Jagdeo said that government has found itself? between a rock and a hard place.

I believe that when you would have seen the so-called forensic audit and the response by NICIL, you would also conclude that NICIL played a very useful role in Guyana’s development and it acted in transparent manner.”Jagdeo claimed that NICIL was “demonized” by a private vendetta by some newspapers and by the then political opposition.“Almost every single day there would be some fabrication of a story on NICIL in the papers. They portrayed it as being corrupt. The government when it was in opposition made a big issue about closing NICIL down and said that NICIL is not necessary. They find themselves today in a dilemma.
