Upon noting the fact that the People’s Progressive Party (PPP/C) is  just mere days away from signing off on ExxonMobil’s third well project in the Stabroek Block, called  Payara, international Petroleum Consultant, Dr. Jan Mangal posits that one can clearly conclude that the current  regime is executing actions that will leave Guyana as a “banana republic.”

During an exclusive interview, Dr. Mangal articulated, “I have already said so much on this topic, am just thoroughly disappointed to see Guyanese politicians continue to sell out the nation, and perpetuate our 50 plus years as a failed state, when instead we always should have been the beacon for the Caribbean.”    Continue reading →

Alison Redford

Minister of Natural Resources  Vickram Bharrat on Sunday shrugged off concerns about Canadian consultant Alison Redford being at the helm of a team that has been hired to review work done on ExxonMobil’s Field Development Plan for the Payara oil field because she has been fingered in alleged misuse of public funds in her home country.
