AGP Executive Report

Last update: an hour ago

Indigenous Land & Mining Standoff: The Amerindian Peoples Association (APA) says Chinese Landing/Tassawini residents are in “solidarity” as heavy equipment linked to miner Wayne Vieira is kept out of titled lands, while Opposition MP Sherod Duncan presses the Natural Resources Minister to explain unfulfilled IACHR precautionary measures. Power & Infrastructure: GPL will relocate and install Bosai and Guyana Manganese’s donated 6MW of generator sets to boost electricity supply along the Soesdyke–Linden Highway and in Region 10, with installation expected within four months. Oil Sector Oversight: Economist Prof. Kenrick Hunte warns Guyana’s “profit oil” focus is misleading, arguing national benchmarks should be total gross revenue and domestic retention; meanwhile, government is still defending its approach to the ExxonMobil audit silence. Education & Skills: Minister Sonia Parag continues school inspections ahead of the new academic year, while BIT graduates 107 people with training for jobs and entrepreneurship in tourism, media and creative industries. Sports Facilities: The GFF has opened a public tender for Phase 1 of the Blue Water Shipping Stadium after FIFA/Concacaf technical confirmation. Economy Watch: An IDB report says debt servicing costs have fallen and unemployment improved, but warns Guyana remains vulnerable to external oil shocks due to heavy reliance on imported oil for energy demand. Safety & Transport: Police investigate a fatal Houston Wharf incident where a 23-year-old was found pinned beneath a shipping container, and a separate Timehri road crash involving an unlicensed sand-truck driver that killed two foreign nationals. Regional Policy: CARICOM consultations are underway on the Draft Biodiversity Strategy and its financing plan, with stakeholders across environment, finance, tourism and agriculture. University Compliance: GTEC published a list of 100 unrecognised universities as of Aug. 28, urging due diligence on certificates.
