 Dr.Jan Mangal is educated,there seems to be a fallout between him and the Gov't.

This is EXACTLY what I'm talking about, and Django has sadly fallen into the "education" swamp!! What has Jan Mangal accomplished with all dem lofty credentials bai?

Bhai,

I ain't fallen in no swamp,the first time i heard about Jan is when he was picked to be adviser to Granger.

His brother is also in Guyana in some oil business.

mmmmm hmmmmmm. Suh the potential exists fuh he to "advise" Granger to ship some of the "oil business" to his brother. These are EXACTLY the types of setups we need to be diligent in avoiding.

Banna, these are not the people you want running or advising on thesethings, especially if his brother already has a foot in a private business.

With all the oil experts in the world, Jan Mangal is the only one Granger can find? This dead fish situation gon smell rotten soon!

What you need is proper/independent oversight and governance.  A small place like Guyana, many people will have connections, blood or otherwise.
