Registry says this crucial Petroleum Agreement document cannot be found

Dear Editor,

I was confident enough of the fact of a renegotiation of the 2016 Agreement, that I had announced on my TV Programme Plain Talk that President Granger and Exxon had indeed signed a Deed of Amendment in late 2019 varying the 2016 Petroleum Agreement to make the royalty paid to the Government a non-recoverable expense. Knowing that the Deed required registration and is a public document, our staff paid to the Deeds Registry the required fee and was asked to return three days later. 

When the staff visited the Registry yesterday, she was told that the document could not be found. This sounds strange – very strange. The question must be asked: who has an interest in “ducking” the document?

Yours faithfully,

Christopher Ram
