Is the Government chasing its own 33 not-greater-than 32 embarrassment?
Dear Editor,
The Government’s shenanigans to deny members of the public to see the ExxonMobil oil-spill-guarantee, disclosure allowed by the Environmental Protection Act: 36 (4 and 5), seems to be taking it down the same path. The sections referred to, allow the public to inspect and get copies of registers in possession of the Environmental Protection Agency. By no stretch of the imagination can the oil-spill-guarantee be deemed to be intellectual property which must not be disclosed.
Why a court action to deny the public access to the oil-spill-guarantee?
The Guyanese public, schooled in law or not, cannot be criticised for thinking that their elected representatives are choosing to interpret the law to deny them (the public) their rights.
