No will to deal with oil and gas dilemmas

Dec 05, 2020 Letters

DEAR EDITOR,

I promised myself that I have commented enough on the Oil saga’s as has been reported by KN, but the article “Where is the rest of the media” /KN Dec 4th”, deserves a final comment. The rest of the media in my view at the end of the day are competitors; even though all the concerns raised in the papers various articles adversely affect the same Guyanese people. It is a shame. However, I don’t see the rest of the media following your lead, as it relates to reporting on the overall management/mismanagement of Guyana’s Oil and Gas wealth. In a nutshell: You Own It. As they say; this is your story, (the Oil & Gas Saga) and yours alone to run with. My practical opinion.
As a side thought, maybe a reason why the current government will not/has not taken up re-negotiation, and probably will not make much of an attempt to get certain corrective operational clauses in a lot of the Oil and Gas agreements, is that there really is no fire in the belly of the present government to take on these enormous issues with Exxon and the rest of the Oil and Gas syndicates. It is so much easier to just give in. So much easier. The secret handshake agreements made between different party members (“to their advantage”) as it relates to Oil is another matter.
Oil and Gas issues are a new Industry for Guyana, and obviously is proving to be too time consuming, too cumbersome and too damn complicated for some to deal with the key granular details. Besides, under the reign of the previous military leader, with his “hands-off approach”, a huge mess has been left behind to clean up. Certainly, kudos to the present government’s efforts.
Much more comfortable for some to bury their heads in the sand and pretend not to know what has been done to the country. Makes life much, much easier.
