In addition, Eustache Saint-Lot, the Director of BMPAD inform the general public and interested parties in particular that the accumulation of eight months' arrears to the Venezuelan Supplier, July 2015 to today, is due to the scarcity of foreign currency in the local market ensuring that "The money paid during that period by the oil companies is available".
