Winston C. Wilson rakes in close to half a million $$$ through Indigo
However, the same Minister of Finance told the public just about one and a half years later that his Administration is paying a consultant, Winston Cecil Wilson dbs Indigo Engineering Group Caribbean Ltd., almost half a million dollars on the Airport runway expansion project. The money is reportedly broken up in two contracts.
The information was made public following a question posed to the Minister of Finance by First District Representative Honourable Andrew A. Fahie. The former Minister for Education and Culture, with the now Opposition VIP, asked Finance Minister Hon. Smith about the terms and conditions of the contract signed with Mr. Wilson and the total sum of monies paid to date to or on behalf of Mr. Wilson and to provide details.
In his answer, Finance Minister Dr. Smith disclosed that Mr. Wilson, through his company Indigo Engineering Group Caribbean Ltd., executed some two contracts since his government took office.
The first contract commenced on July 17, 2012 to August 31, 2012 less than two months for forty five thousand dollars ($45,000.00). Mr. Wilson, through his company, has already collected all the monies on this contract.
Hon. Smith told the public that Mr. Wilson company received the first cheque of $22,500.00 on August 3, 2012 and the second on September 13, 2012 for $22,500, finalizing the pay out for the first contract.
It is unknown if any taxes were paid on this contract, seeing that the full amounts were paid in two disbursements, according to the Minister of Finance answer.
Even before the ink dried on Mr. Wilson's company Indigo Engineering Group Caribbean Ltd's contract, he already had a second contract- this time for 2 years with effect from September 1, 2012.
This contract sum is for three hundred and sixty thousand dollars ($360,000.00). Upon the execution of his second contract, the contractor is to be paid eighteen thousand dollars ($18,000.00) and each month, Mr. Wilson through his company, rakes in fourteen thousand two hundred and fifty dollars ($14,250.00)
Therefore the value of Indigo Engineering Group Caribbean Ltd's contract of which Mr. Winston C. Wilson is listed as Director, is some four hundred and five thousand dollars ($405,000.00).
Thus far Mr. Wilson, through his consulting firm Indigo, has received on the second contract some $117,750.00 in government cheques plus the $45,000 on the first contract for a total of $162,750.00 of tax payers monies in hand to date.
This is after Premier Smith told the Parliament on April 25, 2013 that the airport expansion project has not received approval to date from the United Kingdom. The Minister for Natural Resources and Labour Dr. the Honourable Kedrick D. Pickering already declared the project is a “done deal”.
Mr. Wilson is a Trinidad and Tobago national and had served in the Virgin Islands as Director of the Public Works Department.
According to our research, Mr. Wilson holds a Virgin Islands Trade Licence, which was issued to him in August of 2012 and he is doing business on behalf of Indigo Engineering Group Caribbean Ltd.
