I didn’t know whether to laugh or cry upon reading the Govt’s recent response to a Kaieteur News (KN) question concerning Guyana’s oil reserves – a subject the Govt has turned into a mystery, if not their privileged information. In other words, screw the people of Guyana who owns the oil! Govt elitists still can’t…
The incomparable columnist and master of our lingo, GHK Lall, and my esteemed Oil & Gas Governance Network (OGGN) colleagues deserve high praise for their recent shining of light on the real story behind the grandiose US$100 ($10 MM annually for 10 years) gift to Guyana’s Science Technology Engineering & Mathematics (STEM) programme. As someone…
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…
President Ali disappointedly betrayed the nation with his assent to the Oil Pollution Prevention, Preparedness, Response and Responsibility Bill (the Bill), ignoring the numerous troubling concerns and forebodings brought to his attention by eminent Guyanese, Caribbean and other international experts including a scathing rebuke by the Commonwealth Lawyers Association citing the Government for breaches of…
Attorney General (AG) Nandlall keeps getting away with a free pass hiding behind: (a) the soliloquy of his weekly programme where he amusingly argues with himself; and (b) the obliging interviews by his fawning PPP/C interviewers, without having anyone to challenge and expose in real time, his ignorance and propaganda. Unfortunately for the AG, he…
The Oil Pollution Prevention, Preparedness, Response and Responsibility Bill 2025 (the Bill) is nothing but an all-time brazen scam perpetrated by the PPP/C to cancel Judge Kissoon’s decision, and bears out a bold-faced election time deception by the PPP/C that they will include unlimited liability coverage in the Bill after waging a 5-year rabid war…
Hopefully, all of Guyana have recovered from the shock of the bombshell pre-election revelation that the Government has retreated from their rabidly fought 5-year battle against unlimited liability protection to cover an oil spill. During their respective media programmes of last week, both Vice President Jagdeo and Attorney General (AG) Nandlall, announced tabling of the…
There seems to be no end to the deviousness of Bharrat Jagdeo, a man who disgracefully delights in living in his world riddled with sleaze, sinking so low as to be engaging in maliciously defiling the credentials of those who are much intellectually grander than him, and who take him to task for his gross…
There has been a recent flurry of exchanges between the EPA weaving its tangled web of lies concerning Exxon’s Parent Company Guarantee and responses telling the truth coming from knowledgeable, credible, and patriotic sources such as yours truly and eminent Attorney Christopher Ram, notwithstanding the Honorable Judge Sandil Kissoon’s uncompromising admonishment of EPA, describing the…
