Dear Editor,

As in cricket so also is it in life; timing is everything.

Editor, no sooner did the Government of Norway sign this Memorandum of Understanding with our government than our President vociferously called on Shell Oil Company to commence drilling for oil off Corentyne. Oil is a fossil fuel – a pollutant – which when burnt does exactly the opposite of what is envisaged by the Low Carbon Development Strategy.

Editor, thank heaven that the money promised by Norway will not fall into the hands of the government as presently comprised.

Yours faithfully,
R. J. Eleazar
