Guyana Gov’t hires controversial ex-Canadian premier for more oil and gas work

The controversial former Canadian politician Alison Redford has been hired again by the Government of Guyana for more work in the petroleum sector.

The further hiring of Redford, the former premier of the province of Alberta, was not disclosed by the government but by the former Canadian High Commissioner Lilian Chatterjee.

“They [the Guyana Government] were looking for technical assistance. We identified her and they were very happy.  They have since brought her back for other things and intend to work with her on future projects. But I don’t know more than that. I just know that they were very pleased with her and her team’s performance,” Chatterjee told Sunday Stabroek in a recent exit interview.
