Rodney Chin, the director of the two companies currently embroiled in controversy surrounding the 'Jamaica-Cuban Energy-Saving Project', is now seeking legal representation after allegations surfaced this week that there was no evidence to show that his companies entered into a legal contract with the former government, under the programme.

In an interview with The Gleaner yesterday, Mr. Chin, who is the director of Universal Management and Development Company Ltd., and Caribbean Communication Media Network Ltd., was reluctant to give details, when asked to shed light on his companies' role in the affair.

'Can't say nothing'

"I can't say nothing right now. I can't tell you nothing right now, I don't even know what the breach is, all I know is that I've done work and that's it. Until they come up with a finding I'll see," he responded. He also said that the Ministry of Energy, Mining and Telecommunications had not contacted him as yet in regard to the allegations.

Mr. Chin and his companies are now under the spotlight following a statement by Minister of Energy, Mining and Telecommunications, Clive Mullings, to Parliament on Tuesday in which he said that the companies were paid nearly $90 million for their services without supporting documentation.
