President Bharrat Jagdeo on Wednesday complained in front of Norway’s Prime Minister that Guyana was still to get the first tranche of US$30M from a forest protection deal clinched over a year ago.
The president was speaking at a forum on the sidelines of the ongoing climate change summit in Cancun, Mexico. The UK Guardian reported yesterday that while Norwegian Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg told his audience that his country’s forest protection initiative was going “quite well” Jagdeo railed about what he said had been a “nightmare”.
“It’s a nightmare. It is a test of the sincerity of the developed world, and the delivery on development assistance has been abysmal,”
