00:00The Trinidad and Tobago National Petroleum Marketing Company Limited, NP, says the comments
00:06made by the President of the Petroleum Dealers Association, Robin Naran Singh, are unfounded.
00:12NP's response is in reference to Naran Singh, who in a media report allegedly stated that
00:17NP has created a culture of wastage.
00:20He is also quoted saying,
00:22They don't care whether a gas station has gas, whether communities are out of gas, as
00:27long as they could extract money from the company.
00:30The workers are corrupted inside of there."
00:33However NP is highlighting what it calls the diligence and dedication of its employees,
00:39who ensure on a daily basis that all service stations receive and provide fuel when needed
00:44to the relevant catchment areas and communities.
00:47Opinions have been shared on the recent resignation of NP's Chief Executive Officer, Derek
00:52Lukpat, who served in that office post for only one year.
00:57Oilfield Workers' Trade Union's Chief Education and Research Officer, Ossie Warwick, expressed
01:02the belief that Lukpat's immediate resignation should raise more questions about the board.
01:08But NP says that statement is completely unfounded and without any factual basis.
01:13The company also notes that Lukpat's resignation was tended to the Board of Directors on November
01:181.
01:19The company has been criticized for failing to publish its financial statements for the
01:22past three to five years.
01:24However, the company indicates that its audited financial statements for the past financial
01:28year, ended in March 2023, is currently in progress.
