Dear Editor,

As an apolitical, non-partisan public communications analyst who has engaged extensively with professionals across industries and everyday citizens, I’ve observed a growing public interest in the implications of Guyana’s recent election, particularly in relation to the booming oil and gas sector.

Oil and gas are now central to Guyana’s national conversation. For many, this industry represents a transformative opportunity for economic growth, infrastructure development, and improved quality of life. Citizens are hopeful for tangible benefits, including a reduced cost of living, enhanced healthcare and housing, and stronger regional connectivity, especially with our CARICOM partners.

From an industry communications perspective, I believe the OilNOW Resource Center has been instrumental in bridging the gap between technical developments and public understanding of how the oil industry works for Guyana. Their commitment to accessible, transparent information has helped demystify the sector for the average Guyanese.

Looking ahead, it is imperative that the incoming administration governs with accountability, transparency, and strategic foresight. The management of oil revenues must be guided by robust policy frameworks and clear communication. Stakeholders, both domestic and international, are watching closely to see whether Guyana can translate resource wealth into inclusive, sustainable development.

The oil and gas sector holds immense promise, but its success must be measured not only in barrels and profits, but in the everyday lives of Guyanese citizens. Only through responsible stewardship and people-centered governance can this industry fulfill its potential as a catalyst for national transformation

Sincerely 

Blane R. Bunbury
