RE: Bahamas PM says he is against oil drilling11 Dec 2020 20:54
Read this earlier on eyewitness FB page, as asked elsewhere what exactly did he say the speech marks are all over the place.
PM Minnis said the government was ”saddled with an agreement that we met there”. He said when the government consulted its legal advisors, it was advised the commitment had been signed ”and we could not get out of” BPC drilling an exploratory well in Bahamian waters. The prime minister said if there was a way to, the government would have.
BREAKING: Prime Minister Dr Hubert Minnis says he is ”totally against” oil drilling in The Bahamas, but the government’s hands were tied legally with the existing licenses related to BPC drilling an exploratory well.
