Exxon should pay for dem boys Christmas list

Kaieteur News – Dem folks over at ExxonMobil seem to have stumbled upon a revolutionary way to spend their oil profits, and boy, is dem boys inspired! You see, while we’ve been busy making our Christmas lists and checking them twice, they’ve been rewriting the holiday spending rulebook with a flair for creativity that would make even Santa envious.

In a recent revelation in de Waterfall paper, we learned that de auditors of Liza 1 and Liza 2 took a long, hard look at the Stabroek Block profits, and guess what they found? They found that some of that hard-earned cash was lavishly showered on holiday gift vouchers for their security personnel, transport services for sauntering around Georgetown, and even a full-blown family fun day for the expatriates. Ho, ho, ho!

Now, that got dem boys thinking, too. Why should Exxon’s employees have all the fun? They say sharing is caring, and dem boys think it’s high time Exxon extended their generosity to folks who have been diligently preparing our Christmas lists since, well, January.

Dem boys seh why not send those lists straight to ExxonMobil for some good old cost recovery? Dem boys gat two lists – the “Give Me What I Want” list and the “What I’ll Give to You” list. It’s a simple solution, really. We just want our fair share of the holiday cheer, just like the Exxon family does.

Now, we’re not saying we want to go all Grinch on Exxon. We just think they could do with a little less extravagance in the gift voucher department and a tad more consideration for locals. It’s the season of giving, and what better way to spread the holiday cheer than by letting us claim our gifts as cost recovery?

So, Exxon, if you’re reading this, remember – Santa may check his list twice, but the auditors only need to check yours once. This Christmas, let’s all come together, for as they say in the season of goodwill, “You better not pout, you better not cry, ExxonMobil, we’re telling you why – cost recovery is coming to town!”

Talk Half! Leff Half!
