There is going to be an interesting twist in the reporting of ExxonMobil given the furore over the release of a list of companies solicited by the oil companies. The oil company will set about fashioning the next list it is preparing to release.
Guyana will see the actual companies used by the oil company but even then there will be some disappointment, because the suspicion will be that the company is hiding aspects of its dealings with local companies.

It is surprising that the police seem oblivious to the various infractions of the minibus drivers. Two were fined for overloading but others will continue because they are in cahoots with some of the traffic ranks.
One such overloaded bus would try to avoid a police patrol with serious consequences. The bus would actually veer off the road because of the speed and the surprise at seeing the police. There will be some injuries.

Another shooting will occur in the outskirts of the city. A pair of motorcyclists would attack a businessman who would respond with a shooting of his own. This would surprise the motorcyclists who would be forced to abort, but one of them would be wounded.
And the police would apprehend a man who had shot at some law enforcers. There were reports that a man was wounded and the wound would make him get apprehended.
