While saying that there is more capacity and skills available, Private Sector Commission Chairman Paul Cheong has called for more areas to be ring-fenced for Guyanese under the country’s local content law.
Cheong made the call on Thursday when the PSC hosted a Sensitisation and Local Content Forum at the Pegasus Corporate Centre, in Georgetown.
According to Cheong, since the establishment of the First Schedule of the Local Content Act last year, the capacity and skills of Guyanese have expanded, with many companies investing and establishing partnerships. Against this background, he said the PSC is pushing for more opportunities for Guyanese businesses. “It is now up to us to up our game to deliver quality services in keeping with the standards and requirements of the oil and gas sector,” he further added.
