“Wait until (ExxonMobil) does something, and then alert the country. But do not harass them before the production even starts.” That was the advice given to the media yesterday, particularly Kaieteur News, by Minister of Foreign Affairs, Carl Greenidge.
It was almost as if Greenidge was asking for ExxonMobil to be given kid-glove treatment.
The Minister hosted a press conference yesterday at a committee room in Public Buildings. At that forum, Greenidge spoke extensively about the signing bonus that Government received from ExxonMobil.
During the discourse, he made several references to the “cuss out” that the media has been “putting” on ExxonMobil.
