Caribbean Airline Economy round trip ticket to the same destination on the same date is US$474.
For American Airlines the cost is US$3,179.


Is that part of the cost of the US$20M bribe, which got devalued to $18M?

For example, a business class round trip flight to Miami via Caribbean Airlines between February 6 and March 6 cost approximately US$800 on other airlines plying the same route. On American Airlines, the same ticket would cost US$6,059.

Guyana as part of its oil profit-sharing arrangement with ExxonMobil for the Stabroek Block is responsible for all oil exploration expenses including those for travel and accommodation.

Who does sign agreement to pay costs that are assumed and has no limit? These men working on the project can just decide that they want to visit their wives or girlfriends every weekend and spend time in a five star hotel to boot and bill the Guyana Government. Talking bout stupidity.....

Why would you sign such open ended contracts? Granger has 100s of commissions of inquiries and 100s of lawyers and advisers, what the hell are they getting paid for. This is kindergarten stuff.
