Norway team meets Trotman

A team from Norway met with Minister of Natural Resources (MNR) Raphael Trotman on Wednesday but a press release issued by his ministry yesterday on the meeting made no mention of the controversial Amaila Falls Hydro Power Project (AFHP) which the public has been expecting answers on.

There was also no word on the US$80m in funds from the Norway forest protection pact which was deposited with the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) for use on the Amaila project.

A press release last evening from MNR said that the Norwegian team discussed support for various initiatives that the Guyana Government is undertaking towards a green economy and in preparation for petroleum production.
