Who is representing Guyana in Copenhagen?

– Office of Climate Change tight-lipped

 

The Office of Climate Change in Georgetown has not yet released a list of members of Guyana’s delegation to the UN Climate Change talks which opens Monday in the Danish capital, Copenhagen.

And even if those names are released, they still are not free to speak to the media. Over the past weeks, Kaieteur News has been trying to ascertain the members of the Guyana delegation, but they have said that they cannot speak without the permission of Mr Shyam Nokta who heads the Office of Climate Change.

Among those with whom this newspaper tried to speak in the run-up to Copenhagen was Mr Andrew Bishop, who has been Guyana’s chief negotiator at prior meetings of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change and will again do so in Copenhagen.

Mr Bishop said that he could not speak to this newspaper without Mr Nokta’s permission. Several messages left at the Office for Climate Change for Mr Nokta to grant this permission were not responded to over recent weeks.

Kaieteur News also tried to contact Yvonne Pearson, the Chairman of the National Toshaos Council, who will be leading Guyana’s delegation along with President Bharrat Jagdeo. Ms Pearson is resident in the Essequibo Amerindian community of Mainstay.
