Who Really Approves Guyana's Land Leases | Guyana News

Guyana’s State Lands Act leaves no doubt: only the President can approve leases for state land, even if the Lands Commission handles the paperwork. While the President doesn’t need to sign every document personally—certified stamps or faxes suffice—the final authority always rests with the head of state. A 2016 delegation of power to the Lands Commissioner was revoked after the 2020 government change, restoring full presidential control. Any lease granted before August 2020 couldn’t have been approved by the current president, as he wasn’t in office then. The simplest way to resolve disputes? Check the lease itself—it’ll clearly show who approved it and when, cutting through political noise with a single document.
