Gaskin demands key documents from Govt., Exxon & partners to file lawsuit against oil contract

Jan 23, 2020 News

Activist Ramon Gaskin has officially, through Satram & Satram Attorneys-at-Law, written to a series of Government officials, and oil companies operating on the Stabroek Block, requesting that he be furnished with documents to support his lawsuit against the controversial Stabroek Block Production Sharing Agreement (PSA).
The Accountant made a commitment since last year to go after the contract because it is riddled with what he purports to be a series of illegalities. Gaskin is clear that he doesn’t want the contract to be struck down, but that he wants it to come into conformity with the law.
The letter is on behalf of the Public Interest Research and Action Institute Incorporated, formed by Gaskin himself.
The persons/entities addressed in the letter are President David Granger; Attorney General and Minister of Legal Affairs, Basil Williams; ExxonMobil’s local subsidiary, Esso Exploration and Production Guyana Limited (EEPGL); Finance Minister, Winston Jordan; CNOOC Petroleum Guyana Limited; Guyana Revenue Authority (GRA) Commissioner General, Godfrey Statia; Ministry of Natural Resources, Raphael Trotman; Geology and Mines Commission (GGMC) Commissioner; Head of the Energy Department; Guyana Office for Investment (GO-Invest) Chief Executive Officer; and Hess Guyana Exploration Limited.
Gaskin expects to hear from the addressees within 14 days after the letter, dated January 20, 2020.
The letter states that Petroleum is a national resource that belongs to the people, and that if the demands are not complied with, orders will be sought to compel the production of those documents.
