Opposition Leader Bharrat Jagdeo last week alleged that government has partnered with an oil and gas company to hire a firm to rebut a report which will soon be released by international extractive industries watchdog, Global Witness.
Jagdeo made the allegation at his weekly press conference but gave no information as to the identity of the oil and gas company, or the veracity of the information he shared.
In a letter published in the Stabroek News on January 30th, former adviser to President David Granger in oil and gas, Jan Mangal, noted that Foreign Secretary Carl Greenidge used 14 minutes of his allotted time at a recent rally to criticise him, and Global Witness.
