I bore – or upset – many friends and readers whenever I repeat herein my limitations and feelings of being “out-of-my-depth” with respect to certain national issues. Like the emerging oil and gas sector.
However, after reading carefully a troubling but persuasive commentary by Attorney-at-Law – and obviously a knowledgeable about the intricacies of oil discoveries in under-developed states – Melinda Janki, I’m with certain caution, attempting brief commentary. Using Attorney Janki’s insights as powerful context.
But first two up-front points: two years ago a few friends and I had wondered whether Stabroek’s friendly rival, Kaieteur News, had some hidden surreptitious agenda against Exxon’s oil discoveries and their national consequences. For weeks Kaieteur would carry relatively scathing reports and “threatening” doomsday advisories on front pages and inside.
