The Chevron issue
This is surprising to see that The Daily Star (DS) has apparently decided to remain on the sidelines on the subject which is the talk of the town at the moment the Chevron Scandal (?). For years, we are subscribing DS for authentic news. This is now unfortunate that we have to look for other newspapers on this developing story, which allegedly has the involvement of many stakeholders. This is particularly disappointing because on matters related to energy sector, the DS has been the leading newspaper for more than a decade now. For some reasons, it has now decided to remain quiet. Even if it has some compelling reasons to do so, it can at least inform its readers whether Chevron was awarded the contract in question outside any tender procedure or not. An honest answer to this simple question will answer many other related questions that the DS may decide not to deal with at this stage.
The readers who are loyal to the DS for years have the right to know something from the newspaper that they read.
