Natural Resources Fund Act unacceptable – Bharrat

Vickram Bharrat

The PPP/C will not accept the Natural Resources Fund (NRF) Act in its current form and will either repeal or amend it sometime early next year, Minister of Natural Resources Vickram Bharat has said.

“We have to repeal or amend it but we haven’t gotten down to details as to what it would be as yet because we are focusing now on local content and want to push that out and then start focusing on NRF and the Petroleum Com-mission Bill,” Bharrat told Stabroek News when contacted for an update.

“We are taking everything in stages but by early next year we will focus on it to see it enacted,” he added.
