Opposition Demands Full Accountability | Guyana News

A deadly MV Barima boat disaster has claimed at least 73 lives, sparking outrage and demands for accountability. The President has formed a five-member Commission of Inquiry, but opposition parties are furious—claiming no consultation and arguing the process lacks legitimacy. They insist Parliament must lead the investigation, not a government-appointed body, and are pushing for a separate, technical marine safety probe to uncover the accident’s root causes. The opposition also calls for two ministers to step down or take leave, insisting their continued presence undermines public trust and hinders a truly transparent reckoning.

Guyana's Oil Boom and Rising Debt | Guyana News

Guyana’s oil boom hasn’t brought the prosperity it promised—despite pumping over $100 billion in oil, the national debt has exploded from $1.7 billion to over $10 billion. While the country once earned under $1.5 billion annually from gold, rice, and timber, today’s wealth is vanishing as dollars dwindle and businesses struggle to pay overseas bills. A nationwide protest tried to halt this slide, but cash grants funded by loans are being celebrated—leaving many to wonder if Guyana is headed down the same path as Venezuela or other resource-rich nations where extraction fuels debt, not growth.
