Gda: Now Grenada gets into the act

Two local lawyers, Anslem Clouden and Dr. Francis Alexis have called for the immediate establishment by government of an Oil and Gas Commission to manage Grenada's natural resources.

Clouden is a specialist on maritime law while Dr. Alexis who heads the People's Labour Movement (PLM) is a leading constitutional expert. The lawyers held a press conference and suggested the setting up of the commission that can also be charged with the responsibility of considering applications on for licenses to explore and exploit those resources in Grenadian waters.

The calls were made against the backdrop of problems between neighbouring Barbados and Trinidad and Tobago on maritime boundaries in light of natural gas in the disputed territories.

Who knew that Grenada had oil and gas?!
