Guyana leaving US$9M a day on the table ….as oil windfall surges amid Middle East conflict
FRONT PAGE COMMENT In Senegal, decisive leadership has sent a thunderous message that contracts are not sacred when they are manifestly unjust. Prime Minister Ousmane Sonko has moved to cancel 71 mining agreements, from gas to gold placing the national interest above paper promises. In Guyana, the refrain is different. Here, the doctrine of the “sanctity of contract” is recited like scripture. Yet many of the same political voices now invoking its holiness once denounced those very agreements as lopsided and injurious to the nation. What changed? Not the contracts. Only the custodians of power. When leaders compromise themselves, they mortgage the f u t u r e o f t h e i r c o u n t r y. Compromise breeds vulnerability; vulnerability invites exploitation. And exploitation rarely announces itself openly. It operates in the shadows, the shadows of secret deals and corruption, and millions of the people’s wealth fritted away. Those who resist are replaced
and punished. The result is predictable: a nation rich in oil, gold, and resources, yet struggling to translate that wealth into widespread prosperity. The tragedy is not only that the country’s assets are bartered for a pittance. It is that leadership itself becomes captive. The public interest is quietly traded for political survival. Play the game, or pay the price. Too many have chosen to play. And so the people wait, watching wealth flow outward while hardship lingers at home. But this cycle is not unbreakable. Exposure is its greatest enemy. Sunlight disrupts the quiet arrangements, the hidden bargains, the unspoken threats. Citizens cannot judge what they do not know; they cannot demand better if the truth is buried. The time has come to lift the veil. We at this newspaper will do so. Because a contract that impoverishes a nation is not sacred, it is a betrayal.
