Calls Mount for Edghill's Resignation | Guyana News

Calls are mounting for Guyana’s Minister of Public Works Juan Edghill to resign following the nation’s worst maritime disaster, which claimed 27 lives and left 83 missing. While the MV Barima’s management team has been placed on leave, critics demand accountability reach the ministerial level. Indigenous groups like the Amerindian Peoples Association highlight systemic failures in transport safety, arguing that vulnerable communities bear the brunt of neglect. Opposition figures are also pushing for resignations of top officials, questioning the ship’s manifest and safety records, while Edghill dodges direct answers. Prime Minister Mark Phillips deflects pressure, saying only the President can make such decisions — leaving the nation in tense uncertainty as demands for justice and reform grow louder.
