The Protroleum Bill and an unnecessary distraction
Dear Editor,
I wish to draw to your attention, the fact that the Petroleum Bill 2017,Bill Number: 4\2017 came up for its first reading on 08,May,2017 and its second reading on 15,June,2017 in the National Assembly. I read the bill and watched the debates and exchanges in Parliament.
I was excited for the national debates and discussions that ought to follow such a bill that speaks to a newly discovered natural resource which teems with existential implications for Guyana.
Sir, I am saddened that this most important legislation has not received its due attention on its second reading because the national conversation has been dominated the next day by unnecessary distractions.
Ronald Austin Jr.
