Responding to a question by a lady member of a bi-partisan parliamentary committee on natural resources, The Country Manager of US giant oil company ExxonMobil said, “ExxonMobil is not involved in politics in Guyana. We don’t choose sides. We’re apolitical and we are not funding any political party, any political side, any political initiatives,” he said.

The Country Manager Mr. Henson said he was grateful for the opportunity provided by Sukhai to respond to the claims that he called “complete hogwash”, a remark that he later withdrew at the request of the Committee Chairman. “I withdraw the word ‘hogwash’ and I want to make it clear that Exxon Mobil is not a political entity that provides financial or other support to political parties here,” Henson said when asked by Lumumba.
