United States Ambassador Sarah-Ann Lynch has said that the potential for corruption and need for inclusion are key challenges for Guyana as it navigates its oil wealth.

She made the point in a recent interview with Plaza Central host Benjamin Gedan of the Wilson Center in Washington DC.

Speaking on the topic ‘Guyana’s Oil Rush’, the US Ambassador highlighted that the country’s expected oil wealth has the potential to provide a historic transformation for its people but it will need strong systems to ensure this.
