Minister of Legal Affairs, Anil Nandlall SC said that negative reports here have given fuel to Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro in his effort to put pressure on US oil company ExxonMobil.
The Attorney General told the Sunday Stabroek that at the meeting in St. Vincent and Grenadines on Thursday with President Irfaan Ali, Maduro had in his possession, several volumes of documents, containing information on the 2016 ExxonMobil Production Sharing Agreement (PSA) and the various reports by citizens claiming that ExxonMobil is robbing Guyana of its oil and gas resources.
“We noticed that Maduro had articles and reports on how Exxon is ripping Guyana off in light of the PSA and other loose statements that were reported in the public domain on how citizens were accusing the government of allowing Exxon to enter an agreement that would disenfranchise the country of its resources, it was that kind of fallacious and misleading information he had at the meeting”, Nandlall, who was at the meeting, stated.
