US$20M Exxon bonus to Govt: Finance Minister ‘cannot confirm’ receipt - chairman - 11-15-2017
While the Opposition Leader has publicly declared he would be going directly to Exxon to ascertain whether a multi-million-dollar signing bonus was indeed paid to the Government, the keeper of the nation’s purse — Finance Minister Winston Jordan — is denying any knowledge of this payment.
Asked by the media, the Finance Minister declined to confirm or deny whether the Government was paid the sum of US$20 million by ExxonMobil when it granted the oil giant a production licence.

“I cannot confirm anything. Somebody said we have received US$20 million,” Jordan said. “I will check and see whether we did receive US$20 million. I will check and see whether we received any bonus of any kind, signature or otherwise; and how much it was, if at all.”
