Chief Elections Officer (CEO) Keith Lowenfield has admitted that he never advised President David Granger that the voters’ list was bloated with 200,000 names, raising questions about where President David Granger and the coalition got such ‘facts’ from.
In a further sign of the global interest in Guyana’s offshore oil, Qatar Petroleum said yesterday it had agreed a deal with Total ((link: http://TOTF.PA) TOTF.PA) to acquire a stake in the French energy giant’s two oil and gas blocks offshore Guyana.
Betrayal applies to the PNC, WPA and AFC more than any other individual or entity in the history of Guyana! But so many who were so vociferous when the PPP/C was in government have become dumb and deaf since the current government took power. Ironically the teeming defenders have all but disappeared, upset, no doubt, that this betrayal has taken place but unwilling to publicly talk about. And the extremist apologists now have become strident as they manufacture their facts and revise reality.
UK petroleum company, Tullow, yesterday announced the discovery of oil in commercial quantities in the Orinduik Block, underlining the vast resources in the Guyana Basin and increased projected wealth for the country.
Tullow Oil Plc is the operator of the block via its wholly-owned subsidiary Tullow Guyana B.V. and has as its partners French oil major Total, Canadian company Eco Atlantic (Guyana) Inc and Qatar Petroleum in an arrangement that is still to be clarified with local authorities.
