Gov’t beefing up oversight to better police Exxon – Jagdeo

Government is moving to boost its capacity for oversight of the operations of ExxonMobil, according to Vice President Bharrat Jagdeo, who says there are questions about the oil major’s spending and whether the country is getting value for money.

“We are in the process of building up the capacity for a lot of these things,” Jagdeo told a media forum on Monday at the Arthur Chung Conference Centre as he announced positions and services for which vacancies will soon be advertised.

The positions are for a value engineer, legal and commercial consultants, and a firm or person to provide services for a procurement process review and petroleum data management.
