Dear Editor, As a follow-up to the recently published article, “There Is a US$6.7 Billion Difference Between the Oil Revenues Reported by the Bank of Guyana and Exxon”, there are also discrepancies within Guyana’s own official figures. Table VII of the Bank of Guyana’s 2025 Annual Report states that oil revenue for 2025 was approximately…
Dear Editor, The 2025 Combined Financial Report for the Guyana oil consortium (Exxon, Hess/Chevron, and CNOOC) show that total revenue is US$17.2 Billion; and the total profit is US$12.1 Billion.

Dear Editor, In follow-up to the letter by Immaculata Casimero about mercury in women at Parabara in South Rupununi (2026, July 5. Oil wealth should not come at cost of indigenous women’s health.

Irfaan Ali was also acquiring/developing a large mixed farm near St Cuthbert’s Amerindian Village, along the Soesdyke-Linden Highway.

Dear Editor, President Mohd. Irfaan Ali has been sharply critical of foreign companies wanting to sell into Guyana but not invest in this country; see for example https://kaieteurnewsonline.com/2026/06/22/no-investment-no-access-to-guyanas-market-pres-ali-tells-foreign-investors/.
