Ganesh Mahipaul

As ExxonMobil forges ahead with the construction of its headquarters at Ogle on the East Coast of Demerara and with no publicly known price tag on the project or if any monies would be recovered from cost oil for it, Opposition Parliamentarian Ganesh Mahipaul has moved to the National Assembly for answers he says are owed to this country.

“ExxonMobil has begun construction of its new office campus on [a] 15 acres green field site adjacent to Ogle Airport on the outskirts of Georgetown, Guyana’s capital. The facility will be ExxonMobil’s in-country headquarters according to details revealed by the update on the 13th April, 2022 on LinkedIn. Can the Honourable Minister of Natural Resources inform the National Assembly if the cost for the ExxonMobil Office Campus is cost recoverable?” Mahipaul asked in questions he said he has since sent to  Parliament.
