Minister of Business Dominic Gaskin says that he believes that the decision taken by Cabinet to not release the ExxonMobil contract from the inception or make public that it collected a US$18M signing bonus was in the people’s best interest.
“I believe Cabinet acted wisely under the circumstances and I expect that Cabinet will continue to act wisely and to act in the best interest of this country,” Gaskin told Stabroek News on Sunday.
“I don’t like the word secret, I think that has a very negative connotation. I think Cabinet decided not to release the contract,” he added.
