Even as the need to further enhance public understanding of the oil and gas industry leading up to the commencement of the recovery process in 2020 becomes increasingly important the Stabroek News continues to play an important role in the local reportage on what is “one of the most important occurrences in Guyana’s history,” former Trinidad and Tobago Energy Minister Kevin Ramnarine said earlier this week.

On his way to Berbice on Tuesday to participate in one of a series of public discourses organized by the Georgetown Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Ramnarine told Stabroek Business in a telephone interview that at a time when the local media needed to point the way in the oil and gas public education process, the Stabroek News was doing a “commendable” job. “Your coverage of the sector, up until now, has been both professional and responsible,” Ramnarine said.
