Routledge made the comments in response to questions about demands for ExxonMobil to do more for Guyanese.

“It’s not our job. They didn’t vote for us. We are not representatives of the people.”

The comments, reported by The New York Times journalists Simon Romero and Rebecca F. Elliott, have added fuel to an already intense national debate over Guyana’s oil wealth, the benefits accruing to the country and the role of ExxonMobil in the transformation of the economy.
