The sad part about Guyana is that almost all of the money that oil companies have been making lately are going to foreigners' bank accounts, the local infrastructure is being slowly improved, not much money to buy better ferries, improve ports, it is rumoured that two of the three military rescue helicopters are not working. It is a disaster

@Ayenmol

Wow! Never knew about it.

@dayne

The monies going into foreigners or politician bank accounts. De ordinary citizens don't have anything to get.

As for the helicopters.. its not rumors. The Prime minister confirmed that the two new helicopters are down. He couldn't saw since when.

Update:

So far 10 bodies have been recovered. Two are children.

Update:

27 bodies recovered so far. According to the authorities 83 persons are still missing.

@anthonyp

confirmed - plenty more peeps we’re on that boat.

bare corruption.

@Chrissy

Corruption and incompetence. And the citizens are being lied to.

- New boat was purchased in 2023 I believe.

- Boat arrived and is still not in use because there is no port/docking facilities for it.

- The 1.4 Billion Port Kaituma Stelling project failed before it was completed - purely based on a substandard design.

- These sequences led to the continued use of the MV Barima.

This is an utter failure at all levels from Government right down to the boat crew.

About the new boat.

About the wharf.

Tender documents for the now sunken vessel.
