Most weirdly, EPA’s purported December 14, 2024 response to my Kaieteur News interview of December 11, 2024, “Guyana cannot seize and sell its own assets to pay for an oil spill” did not match my interview subject, obviously admitting the idiocy that Guyana can seize Guyana’s own assets to pay for an oil spill. Nevertheless,…
Christopher Ram’s survey indicating an overwhelming 94% of the people wanting renegotiations of the Stabroek Block Production Sharing Agreement (PSA), and the daily commentaries that followed, have put the Government in a state of utter confusion and madness undermining arguably the most consequential issue facing our nation. By its deeds, this Government has brandished its…
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,…

Vice President Jagdeo has for sure secured his spot in the annals of iconic harbingers of falsehoods; but his reaction to Honourable Judge Kissoon’s well-thought-out decision, takes the cake, when he distorts the decision and attempts to intimidate and create a chilling effect on the judiciary. The VP perversely attacks the decision with his vengeful…
All Guyanese, our Caribbean neighbours, and Venezuela, must now be worried sick by the Honourable VP Jagdeo’s announcing that slashing the parent company guarantee from full coverage, down to a piddling $2 Billion USD, “remains a priority”. This in-your-face sellout and betrayal of our people, not only throws out the existing legal full liability coverage…
Kaieteur News – Vice President Bharrat Jagdeo has over time repeatedly lambasted former Head of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for signing the worst permit, that authorized the development of the country’s first producing oil field—Liza I. In fact, the former Head-of-State, now Vice President, over time proffered publicly that it was his administration that would…
