Following a call by the Georgetown Chamber of Commerce and Industry (GCCI) for the tabling of local content legislation by the end of this year as its members say they are being sidelined from oil and gas works, Minister of Natural Resources Vickram Bharrat yesterday assured that government is assiduously working towards that timeline.
“We are hoping to table it before the end of the year. It is a work-in-pro-gress,” Bharrat told Stabroek News when contacted.
He said that works are ongoing to prepare a draft and government hopes that it would be completed so that the legislation could be tabled before the end of 2021.
