Dear Editor,
Please permit me space to respond to a letter in your December 6, 2024 edition by Mr. Craig Sylvester titled “Our major political parties may have received as much as US$46.5M from the oil companies”. While we usually ignore flights of fancy, attacks alleging illegality on our part cannot go uncorrected. In his letter Mr. Sylvester unwisely and disingenuously makes unsubstantiated allegations of bribery, and evidence-free “assumptions” about payments he says we “may” have made. None of them is true.
Let me state clearly: ExxonMobil Guyana neither supports nor finances any political party or candidate. We categorically reject allegations of any involvement in bribery or corrupt practices. We adhere to the highest ethical standards and are committed to transparency and integrity in all our dealings.
Andrew Lodge
