Natural Resources Shadow Minister, David Patterson has accused the government of mismanaging and squandering Guyana’s oil revenues on infrastructure without ramping up the country’s human resources.

He made these remarks at a conference held at Capitol Hill, Washington DC, USA, which touched on myriad issues affecting the Guyanese society. “What has clearly happened is that we are getting all of this money and the government is squandering it,” Patterson declared.
