(Kaieteur News) – To hear ExxonMobil tell it, the global oil leader is the best partner that Guyana can ever have. In the now customary manner, more often picked up by citizens, there is a disconnection between what ExxonMobil says, and what it does. The most recent example of this company practice involves the gas pipeline off the village of Crane, West Coast Demerara.

ExxonMobil had a great opportunity to prove itself a trustworthy partner of citizens. But the company would have none of that, flunked the trust test. Instead of transparency in the manner of a bona fide partner, ExxonMobil’s managers did what they have always done. They settled for stealth and secrecy on what is wrong with that pipeline near the Crane community.
