Energy Minister Dr Lenny Saith says it was Trinidad
and Tobago that advised Jamaica to approach Venezuela
for liquefied natural gas (LNG) supplies.
Saith
also said the Prime Minister Patrick Manning administration
did not renege on any finalised deal but had communicated
to Jamaica that Trinidad was unable to supply the
LNG being negotiated.
"I
think in conversations with the Prime Minister of
Jamaica, the Prime Minister of Trinidad and Tobago
did indicate an alternative to that gas: for the
Government of Jamaica to approach the Government
of Venezuela to make LNG available and some arrangements
have been made between those two countries,"
Saith said.
He
was responding to questions on the issue posed during
yesterday's post-Cabinet news conference at Whitehall,
Port of Spain.
