Mind Your Own Business

How to keep track of Trinidad and Tobago's energy billions: a guide for civil society and all of us.

THE MONEY IS OUR PATRIMONY.
Who owns the oil and natural gas of Trinidad and Tobago, source of the country’s wealth? Those hydrocarbon resources are owned in common by all citizens; that makes them the
national patrimony.  The State acts as the trustee or custodian, on behalf of the true
owners—we the people. As national, property-owning shareholders, we are entitled to know what’s going on with oil and gas. We also have an indisputable right to be involved in the decisions being made about those hydrocarbon resources.
This booklet offers a guide to information that could give the people the means to exercise our rights of ownership.
