I read without surprise, the August 10, 2024 KN clip “MP Vickram Bharrat provided misleading, deceptive information to Parliament on rate of oil production – David Patterson”. We all know that “misleading and deceptive” are parliamentary jargons for “lies”; but, in all fairness, let’s also charitably attribute some of the Honorable Minister’s mouthings to ignorance….
I am most elated by VP Jagdeo’s hullabaloo surrounding the arrival of the capping stack in Guyana, since it finally brings attention to the constant raising of my dreaded concern about the Government’s dangerous tripling of the stack’s deployment time to 9 days from the 3 days decided upon by the Coalition Government and Exxon,…
In subservience to Exxon and realizing that they will lose the legal battle, the Government now plots its heralded scheme for an oil spill legislation to nullify Judge Kissoon’s decision decreeing that an Unlimited Parent Company Guarantee (referred herein as UPCG) must be provided to bear the full cost of any oil spill, above what…

This in-your-face sellout and betrayal of our people, not only throws out the existing legal full liability coverage…

In fact, the former Head-of-State, now Vice President, over time proffered publicly that it was his administration that would…
Kaieteur News – Even though the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has already approved an application by Esso Exploration and Production Guyana Limited – ExxonMobil Guyana – to transport natural gas from the Liza Fields in the Stabroek Block to the Wales Development Site, West Bank Demerara, the operator is still in the process of completing its…
Kaieteur News – This is taking things past the limit. What ExxonMobil is being allowed to do in our offshore oilfields is perilous for this country, criminal in contemplation. The company ramps up production into dangerous territory at certain times, and Guyana goes along meekly, even willingly. Though we have said it before, we will ring…
