(Kaieteur News) – The words of South African Anglican priest and anti-apartheid activist Michael Lapsley today rings with the moral clarity that the world desperately needs to hear. After returning from Havana, he did not mince words. He accused the United States of inflicting “a genocide...

By Sir Ronald Sanders (Kaieteur News) – Haiti’s plight must not be forgotten because it is no longer a regular feature of international headlines. The suffering has not diminished. Between January and early June 2026, at least 2,310 people were killed, 1,106 were injured and 99 were kidnapped,...

(Kaieteur News) – The PPP Gov’t will give an arm and a leg to get the MV Barima off the front-pages. I go so far as to assert that some would part with their left nut to hustle the tragedy of the MV Barima out of the media altogether. C’mon folks, it is only 100 dead, […]

Tricky Exxon!
Aug 23, 2020 Front Page Comment, News
ExxonMobil is cunning. The new government must not fall for its excuses or entrapments.
ExxonMobil says that it will be forced to reduce production because of ‘gas flaring’ concerns. That is a lie.
It is an example of how the company can say the right things in public (cry at the funeral), while plotting against us (ripping us off), as regular production continues unchecked.
The Guyana Government must demonstrate that it has the backbone to resist the trickery of ExxonMobil. Payara represents a golden opportunity to obtain deserved benefits, such as a fairer sharing of the Field Development Costs.
Guyana was saddled with billions (USD) in costs for the Liza 1 and Liza 2. Every effort must be made to prevent the same from happening again.
Payara should set the standard for all future oil negotiations.
We must get it right with Payara, because if our new government does not, then we will pay the same high price for all the subsequent field development projects.
The PPP/C government must not feel obligated to the Americans because of the latter’s stance on the just-concluded elections. America had to take such a stance, because it stands for democracy, human rights and free markets.
Instead of feeling that something is owed America for its electoral help, the PPP/C government must show it possesses the required fortitude.
Guyanese leaders must not be weighed down with a sense of indebtedness, but instead, be vocal and dogged in obtaining what is due to the country.
Our leaders must ensure vastly improved benefits from Payara.
