Dear Editor,

Reference is made to a letter penned by Mr Ramon Gaskin about recent comments made by me regarding the Government of Guyana/ExxonMobil, Hess and CNOOC Nexen Production Share Agreement (PSA), to which I respond as follows:

The position adumbrated by me as Minister of Natural Resources is one that is embraced by the entire Government of Guyana and does not represent a singular Raphael Trotman opinion and/or position;
The Government of the Cooperative Republic of Guyana (GCRG) has received expert opinions and advice to the effect that, inter alia, the terms of the agreement should not be publicized at this time as the provisions of Section 4 of the Petroleum Act, though somewhat ambiguous, should be interpreted in a manner that prevents publication; and
The Petroleum Act is currently under review for amendments and the GCRG will await the completion of that process, and the recommendations made, before reviewing the matter of the publication of the agreement.

Yours faithfully,

Raphael G C Trotman, MP

Minister of Natural Resources

trotman letter makes me remember a tailor shop. the tailor makes a shirt for a customer. a few months afterwards the customer grows a big belly and returns the shirt for refit. cutting and patching. alterations. So, after the parliament passed a petroleum act the govt signs a production share agreement with exxonmobil & co. that psa does not fit the petroleum act provisions. so like a tailor the govt now has to do alterations to the act. only after the amended act is passed can the govt show people the exxonmobil agreement like the big belly man showing off his altered shirt. i understand.

They should take Dr.Jagdeo's expert advice for free. After all, the man was Russian, economic scholar who can cook the book in many ways.

Ah stupidy them stupidy, ah pagalee them pagalee.

Boiling/frying or steaming a book is not the same as stealing or embezzling. It's a little more technical than that. It's hard work that pays off handsomely, without leaving trails or evidence of wrong doing.
