Following the announcement of an ExxonMobil contract for oil & gas services, the Georgetown Chamber of Commerce and Industry (GCCI) is calling on the government to urgently address the issue they believe is in contravention of both Guyana’s and Trinidad and Tobago’s local content laws.

“ An Exxon logistics contract was advertised and it says bundle or unbundled, but it has 10 areas and bundles Guyana and Trinidad together… when you bundle Guyana and Trinidad you are going against both countries’ policies of local content,” President  of the GCCI, Timothy Tucker, told Stabroek News yesterday.
