Local content mandating was brought to absurd heights yesterday

Dear Editor 

The madness of mandating unrealistic targets for local content was brought to absurd heights yesterday, when it was passed into law that local accountants must get 90% of the oil industry’s business. Was it not just a few weeks ago, Jagdeo was lamenting he could not find local firms to do the audit of Exxon accounts? 

Sincerely,  

Lynn Nicholas
