President Irfaan Ali has stressed that no CARICOM country raised the issue of Guyana’s Local Content Legislation potentially being in violation of the Treaty of Chaguaramas when heads of state from the region met in Belize earlier this month.

A representative from the Caribbean Private Sector Organization (CPSO), which was blistered by the local private sector, even tried to explain that they also did not have an issue.

“There was no issue raised by any of the heads of Guyana’s local content legislation. I want it to end there,” the President stressed.
