Follow Up : Oil Spill In Hurghada

The ministry of oil is claiming that that the Oil is Hurghada is not caused by rigs but rather either from a passer tanker or seeped from the ground due to the heat !!??
Last week Mona El-Shazely hosted a group of experts to speak about the spill and I was not convinced by the representatives of the ministry of oil  nor the ministry of environment .Already we got a video showing the leak coming from an offshore platform 'Check the first video' . Of course the Pro-Oil expert needs to swim to a shore polluted with oil.

Petrogulf Misr oil company is the main suspect in the case despite the statements of the ministry , the company already has the closet offshore platform to the Hurghada shore. Petrogulf Misr was a joint partnership between the ministry of Oil and Kuwaiti International Investment group which is selling its share in the company.
May be it is matter of trust , may be it is the fact that the ministries of Oil and environment do not really react to the size of the environmental and economic disaster this spill regardless of how small it is has caused. We are speaking about a very sensitive eco-system , we are speaking about hundreds of reservations are cancelled whether locally and internationally.
We do not have to wait till having a real catastrophe like gulf of Mexico , this spill regardless from ship or from platform is like a wake up call , we should have some proactive system for any similar incident.
