The local Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has dropped a live grenade at the feet of citizens and left “Guyana and its people in grave potential danger of calamitous disaster” (“Justice Kissoon orders Exxon to provide unlimited insurance coverage within 30 days to Guyana” -KN May 4).
The statement that such a parent company guarantee can have “grave economic impacts” on the public interest has been discounted by President of the Transparency Institute of Guyana Inc (TIGI), Mr. Frederick Collins; who believes that this confirms the administration is more interested in protecting Exxon than Guyana.
High Court, Justice Sandil Kissoon on Wednesday ordered the Environmental Protection Agency, (EPA) to issue an Enforcement Notice to Esso Exploration and Production Guyana Limited (EEPGL) and its parent company, Exxon Mobil to ensure it provides unlimited insurance coverage to safeguard Guyana against the devastating effects of an oil spill within the next thirty days.
