SHAL­IZA HAS­SANALI

On the heels of Prime Min­is­ter Kam­la Per­sad-Bisses­sar’s an­nounce­ment last night that the Drag­on gas field is dead and the Gov­ern­ment will be pur­su­ing oth­er op­tions, econ­o­mist and en­er­gy strat­e­gy con­sul­tant Gre­go­ry McGuire says this must be a pri­or­i­ty as it is “a dif­fi­cult time for Trinidad and To­ba­go” in the en­er­gy sec­tor.

Ad­dress­ing re­porters fol­low­ing last night’s swear­ing in of her Cab­i­net at Pres­i­dent’s House, Per­sad-Bisses­sar did not mince her words when she said “the Drag­on gas is dead.”
