Ferry Tragedy Sparks Legislative Clash | Guyana News

Description

Tensions flared in the National Assembly as opposition MPs staged a fiery protest over the recent ferry disaster that claimed over 100 lives, accusing the government of rushing legislative business while ignoring the human toll. Minister Bishop Juan Edghill’s smirk as he left the session drew sharp criticism, especially from MP Ganesh Mahipaul, who blamed him for infrastructure failures and called the government’s actions insensitive. Prime Minister Mark Phillips retaliated, branding the protest “childish” and insisting an international commission — staffed by impartial experts — is the only proper way to investigate, dismissing calls for ministers to resign as politically motivated disruption.
