Dear Editor,
Almost every Minister in the APNU-AFC Coalition Government has been talking about how oil and gas will benefit Guyanese people. This kind of talk is continuing, although some of what has been talked about is nowhere near fact.
This is why I find the statement from Minister of Finance, Winston Jordan, very surprising. The Kaieteur News report, on August 10, 2018, said that the Minister said, “I think we should work at tempering expectations.”
Where was this recognition when Minister of Natural Resources, Raphael Trotman, said that an onshore supply base will be erected at Crab Island, in the Berbice River, by the end of 2017 and will create 600 jobs? It is now August 2018 and nothing has happened.
Where was this recognition when Minister David Patterson talked about a natural gas project that will create 200 jobs, when the ExxonMobil itself said that there is no completed feasibility study on natural gas?
Where was this recognition when Minister David Patterson told people on the Essequibo Coast that they will get free cooking gas?
These are only a few of the things that people have been told to expect.
If Minister of Finance, Winston Jordan, is serious about “tempering expectations”, maybe he should start by talking to his colleagues.
Regards,
Baldeo Mathura
Please share this to every Guyanese including your house cats.
