According to a statement from the People’s Progressive Party (PPP), the Party “…has received information that, contrary to the claims made by Minister Cathy Hughes, several contracts were awarded by her own Ministry to her company, Videomega Productions.” The Company owned and operated by Cathy Hughes in a period of just about four months received over $10.3M in contracts.
Notably, Videomega Productions was awarded three contracts from the Minister of Public Telecommunications. “In Hughes’ Ministry of Public Telecommunications three contracts were awarded to Videomega Productions:

1. June 4, 2018 – Advertisement of Vacancies – $939,738

2. June 25, 2018 – Facebook Page – $119,670

3. September 21, 2018 – CTU/ITC Roadshow 2018 – $2,291, 128”

Further, the company received another five contracts from various other Ministries. “Videomega Productions benefited, also, from another five contracts awarded by other ministries.

Ministry of Public Infrastructure:

4. September 19, 2018 – Television advertisement – $256,500

Ministry of Business:

5. September 28, 2018 – Video for Caribbean Tourism Diaspora Forum – $198,800

Ministry of Education:

6. July 12, 2018 – Video Production – $1,487,700

Ministry of Natural Resources:  

7. May 25, 2018 – Artwork – $1,420,115

Ministry of Public Health:

8. July 27, 2018 – Advertisement – $3,592,236”

Notably, according to the PPP, “Guyanese remember that Minister Hughes, on April 15, 2019, said: “I have taken no decision in my capacity as Minister of Public Telecommunications or in my personal capacity which has been the subject of a conflict of interest.””

Just last week, the husband of Minister Cathy Hughes, Nigel Hughes, in his capacity at a lawyer, dispatched a letter to People’s Progressive Party (PPP) Executive, Gail Teixeira, over comments made about Hughes’ conflict of interest – acting as a Minister, while her company benefited from Government contracts.

Cathy Hughes wanted $10M in compensation.

My Videomega interest was declared to the Integrity Commission – Minister Hughes- denies participating in contract award

Apr 16, 2019

Minister of Public Telecommunications, Cathy Hughes, has categorically denied using her office or participating in the decision-making process that led to the award of a contract to her media company, Videomega Productions Ltd.
The statement by Hughes, a senior executive of the Alliance For Change (AFC), which forms the smaller faction of the Coalition Government, would come amid a raging debate over public officers and what constitutes a conflict of interest situation.
It was reported recently that Videomega owned by Hughes received $832,200 for producing ads for the oil and gas sector, on behalf of the Department of Energy.
The department, which falls under the Ministry of the Presidency, had insisted that the necessary procurement protocols were followed in awarding the contracts.
Hughes said last week that she had relinquished control in the company since assuming office.
The company itself said that the ministry does not handle the daily operations.
Yesterday, in her statement, Hughes was at pains to insist that conflict of interest scenario as contemplated by the regulations does not apply to her.
In any case, she had no knowledge that the contract was even issued.
Below in its entirety is the Minister’s statement:
“I would like to invite everyone’s attention to the specific provisions of the Integrity
Commission (Amendment of Code of Conduct) Order 2017 particularly the contents of Articles
4 and 5 “Conflict of Interest” and “Use of Official influence.”
The specific contents of the Article 4 provide:
No person in public life shall
(a) Allow private interest to conflict with his or her public duties or improperly influence his or her conduct in public in the performance of his or her public duties.
(b) Allow the pursuit of his or her private interests to interfere with the proper discharge of his or her public duties.
Provided that any such conflict that tends to interfere with the proper discharge of his or her public duties shall be reported to the Integrity Commission for guidance on a resolution as soon as practicable in favour of public duties of the person in public life.
(2) For the purposes of this Code, a conflict of interest arises where a public official makes or participates in the making of decision in the execution of his or her office and at the same time knows or ought to have reasonably have known, that the making of that decision, there is material beneficial opportunity either directly or indirectly to further his or her private interest or that of a member of his or her family or any other person or entity.
(3) A person in public life shall
(a) In order to protect and uphold the public interest , take reasonable steps to avoid, resolve and disclose any material conflict of interest, financial or non financial, that arises or is likely to arise, between his or her personal interest and his or her official duties.
(b) Declare any conflict of interest in writing to the relevant authority as soon as possible
after becoming aware of the conflict of interest.
(c) Refuse or relinquish any outside employment, shareholding or directorship which create conflict of interest.
Article 5 of the Code provides:
Use of official influence.
No person in public life shall use his or her official influence in support of any scheme or in furtherance of any contract or proposed contract or other matter in regard of which he or she has an interest.
I have never made or participated in the making of any decision in the execution of my office as Minister of Public Telecommunications in the deliberations of the Department of Energy’s (DOE) decision to award a contract to Videomega Productions.
I have no relationship with the decision-making processes of the DOE.
The decision was entirely that of the Department of Energy.
I have never utilized any influence official or otherwise to influence the furtherance of any contract with Videomega Productions Ltd.I have never at any time prior to the public comments by MP Gail Texeira and Edward Layne from Channel 28 been aware that the DOE was considering the award of any contract to Videomega Productions.
In my declarations to the Integrity Commission made in July 2018 prior to the declarations of most members of the National Assembly including the Leader of the Opposition, I fully disclosed my interest in Videomega Productions Ltd.
I have taken no decision in my capacity as Minister of Public Telecommunications or in my personal capacity, which has been the subject of a conflict of interest.
I completely reject the not surprising but malicious accusations of Stabroek News and Anand Goolsarran.
We don’t all have private agendas with special interests to protect.
Catherine Hughes. M.P.
Minister of Public Telecommunications.

Heh heh ...

Hughes in a statement last night said that she has not been involved in the “day to day” running of the company since 2015 and had been unaware of the award prior to press releases yesterday by PPP/C Chief Whip Gail Teixeira and Edward Layne.

In a video statement yesterday Teixeira said that the company established by Hughes in 1993  had been granted a multi-million dollar contract with the Department to create brochures as well as television and radio advertisements.

Though the company’s website still lists Hughes as Managing Director and Executive Producer the Minister last night said  that in May 2015 upon assuming the role of Minister of Tourism she “relinquished any involvement in the day to day running of Videomega Productions.”

Hughes blasts Guyanese over corrupt culture

As the coalition administration continues to receive much criticisms over the levels of corruption in government, a sitting minister has fired back at the populace, accusing the ordinary man of being equally corrupt.

Public Telecommunications Minister Cathy Hughes told the media at a party press conference today that corruption is not just at the government level.

“We somehow forget is that corruption is a culture in Guyana today. It is not just at the government level. It is down all across our society,” she contended.

“Down to the individual that gets stopped by the police and has a choice to pay 7,500 for the ticket but will give the police officer 5,000 and still expect us to be able to stamp it out,” Minister Hughes asserted.

The Public Telecommunications Minister was recently under fire after it was revealed that her private company, VideoMega Productions, has been receiving multiple government contracts.

But she noted that government is doing “everything we can” to stamp out corruption. Some of the biggest corruption scandals of the four-year coalition government are the Durban Park Project, the Sussex Street Drug Bond, the Feasibility Study of the new Demerara Bridge, among others.

“We have had a terrible history of corruption, no question about that, but we are committed to working on it and changing it,” Minister Hughes stated.

But in the same breath, she called out the regular man for also engaging in corrupt practices.

“Every person, the man on the wharf who collects monies and allows the container to go through without the VAT. The person at the health centre that collects the right amounts of tablets that are delivered to the health centre, that has a scam going on, and is taking it out and selling everywhere else.

“Those are the stories that we also need to tell because in Guyana we have a culture. And we have to start ensuring that at all levels we are eradicating it,” she posited.
