Congratulations to Kaieteur News for your outstanding investigative reporting!

Dec 25, 2017 Letters

Dear Editor,
Please allow me the honour of extending my heartfelt congratulations to you and the Kaieteur News staff on your professional and first world reporting on matters of vital importance to the Nation. Case in point, the Exxon Mobil involvement in oil exploration slated to commence in 2020 and their questionable environmental record around the globe and the possible negative effects this can have on our beloved country of Guyana.
Your reporting has been stellar and no doubt eye opening to all as it should be. Any repeat of this company’s disastrous environment record around the globe can have far reaching consequences for our country well into the next generation.
The work your newspaper has done in shining a light on Exxon’s dark side is highly appreciated despite the passing grade they have received from some in Government circles. Your paper’s reporting, editor, is First World.
The investigative effort is worthy of the efforts one would see from the US FBI detailed and conclusive and is indeed a wakeup call to Sleeping Guyana. The questions I am left asking myself (1) Are we even partially prepared to deal with the tried and true history and expertise of this company in running rings around other countries?
(2) What would make us believe we in Guyana would not suffer a similar fate? And
(3) Are those in Government and civil society actively seeking advice and soliciting expertise from those countries that have experienced the shady side of Exxon in doing business both economic and environmental? One can only hope and pray that they are. I am also closely following your reporting and exposing of the GBTI banking fiasco. It would appear that once again, us gullible Guyanese are swinging in our hammocks and expecting the tiger to change stripes.
Once again, your fine work in digging and exposing these pernicious individuals is indeed commendable. Thank you so very much.
I have lived and worked in the United States for the past 39 years (looking forward to returning home) and worked as a volunteer on air news reporter at WPFW 89.3 FM for a number of years. I can appreciate good and expert reporting when I encounter same.
Once again, thank you Kaieteur News on a job well done as the Nations Watch Dog in a good sense that is!
Claudedton Massiah.
