As long as there are unresolved issues on the oil blocks, there will be consequences

Oct 22, 2020 Letters

Dear Editor;

As I read more articles about the Canje and Kaieteur blocks saga including the most recent, “Ramotar agreed for Guyana to repay Canje Owners”, KN 21st October; (which means $0 for Guyana), a switch keeps going off in the back of my mind: Something is brewing, Something is in the air. I don’t know exactly what, but something is/will happen. I smell it. This kind of news is unsustainable, without consequences in the long run.

In several articles back, a few contributors have stated that the government shouldn’t take us for granted. There is a different landscape for 2020, and going forward.

If the governing elites in Guyana get so comfortable, they will certainly forget that there is always something that eventually triggers people at some point; that we have had enough of all the oily “arrangements’ ‘; that tarnish us, and make this country look bad. Obviously, it’s an open secret between the previous regime, (those paying some attention to what is happening around them) and some elite members of the current administration, where it concerns the Canje/Kaieteur blocks; about who did what, and who knew what, when.!!

All these oily ” arrangements”, that clearly are not in the overall best economic interest of Guyana, were spearheaded and orchestrated by us-Guyanese. Isn’t that something.? There are times when we are our own worst enemies, and here with the Canje-Kaieteur block news episodes- is a perfect example.

Yes, there are a long list of corrective actions that are currently being undertaken by the current administration, to fix the ever long list of mismanaged actions/inactions of the previous regime (Bravo); however, as long as these lingering unresolved issues of Canje/Kaieteur/Stabroek blocks and everything in between are still on the radar screen for us to see for days and maybe years to come, granted, there will be consequences, in some form or another.

Watch….

Yours truly,
Chi Kansi
