Exxon’s Alistair Routledge usual full of himself outburst that “It’s not our job to build the nation…they didn’t vote for us…we are not representatives of the people” in response to a media question about Guyanese demanding more from his company, was typical of his imperiousness and disdain for the Guyanese people from the day he…

Letter writer Mr. Hemdutt Kumar gets the award for his befitting portrayal of the recent Energy Conference as “a shrine to greed disguised as progress” and “A government that sells a global illusion while hiding local decay, masters of narrative, and merchants of vanity.” The programme boasted close to 100 speakers including 20 senior Government…
It is sickening to look and listen to a daily diet of the PPP/C’s blatant falsehoods suggesting that the terms in the lop-sided Oil Contracts were created by the APNU/AFC Coalition – a lie perpetrated to cover-up the PPP/C’s spinelessness in not seeking Contract renegotiations to make a better deal with Exxon for a fair…
