On Wednesday, Justice Sandil Kissoon delivered a landmark decision. As was reported extensively in this newspaper yesterday, the Judge 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 for its operations in the Stabroek Block. The judge's decision was a watershed victory for those persons and groups who have been unrelenting in their demands for Guyanese to be protected in the event of a major oil spill. The judge's decision should have also been viewed as a victory for the Government of Guyana which is entrusted in
safeguarding the country's patrimony and, particularly, in protecting the people and the country against the devastation and destruction which can eventuate from a major oil spill. Lo and behold, in a shocking development, the Government of Guyana has indicated that it plans to appeal the decision and to apply for a stay of its effect. Why would the government appeal this decision when it is in the national interest? In whose interest is the government working: Exxon Mobil or the people of Guyana? The Government of Guyana must now come clean. It must indicate whether it is working on behalf of and at the behest of the oil companies or whether it is acting in the interest of the people of Guyana.
