Dear Editor,
The CCJ ruling that allows the Govern-ment to join Exxon in the parent-guarantee case does not force the Guyana Government to join Exxon. It is a choice the Guyana Government has the freedom to make.
Sanctity of contract may ‘prevent’ the Government from challenging certain terms of the oil and gas contract, but is every related issue raised by concerned citizens subject to the ‘sanctity of contract’? Perhaps the Government should morally consider joining with citizens who are looking after the interests of Guyana; interests which the Government is elected to look after.
Yours faithfully,
Faiyaz Alli
