MV Barima Tragedy and the Inquiry Divide | Guyana News

The MV Barima disaster has shattered the nation, leaving families in mourning and demanding accountability. President Ali has announced a Commission of Inquiry — a move the Joint Opposition welcomes but insists must be inclusive, transparent, and properly timed. They argue the government didn’t consult them on the commission’s makeup and warn that its launch right before Parliament’s scheduled debate undermines democratic process. Crucially, they insist this isn’t a substitute for a technical maritime investigation required under international standards — and urge ministers to recuse themselves to preserve public trust. The Opposition’s ultimate demand? A deep dive into systemic failures — not just operations, but oversight, regulation, and resource allocation — to prevent future tragedies.
