Government is confident in the persons handling negotiations and other matters pertaining to the oil and gas sector and will seek additional help as the case may be, Minister of State Joseph Harmon says.
What remains the prevailing factor for the David Granger-led administration is that the citizenry of Guyana receives the maximum benefits they deserve from revenues obtained from the industry when it comes on stream.
Harmon, speaking at Friday’s post Cabinet press conference, explained that so fundamental is the sector to government’s holistic developmental plans, that the President chose five ministers of his Cabinet along with Presidential Advisor on Petroleum Jan Mangal to form a committee to review all matters pertaining to the sector. The President, he said, calls the team ‘The Quintet plus One’.
