Saying there has been a lack of research and consultation, the main opposition APNU+AFC is moving to halt the government’s estimated US$900 million Wales Gas-to-Shore Project (GSP) project in order for there to be comprehensive studies by independent consultants and a parliamentary review.
“Be it further resolved that the Gas-to-Shore Project’s final decision be put on hold until the National Resources Committee presents it report to Parliament for debate and approval,” a motion, in the names of Alliance for Change (AFC) members David Patterson and Khemraj Ramjattan, states.
The motion, which has been submitted to the National Assembly, notes that the current PPP/C administration made a decision to select Wales for the location of the project “championing it as a “no brainer” selection, despite the fact that no data nor study publicly exists to support such a decision.”
