Opposition Leader Demands Accountability for MV Barima Tragedy | Guyana News
Description
Aubrey Norton, leader of the opposition, is blasting the government over the MV Barima tragedy, accusing ministers of using surviving crew as scapegoats to dodge accountability. He calls murder charges against the captain and others baseless and politically motivated, pointing to glaring safety failures — including a 87-year-old vessel kept in service despite warnings — that were ignored by officials who controlled its operations. Norton demands full transparency: public records, inspection logs, and surveillance footage — and insists captains weren’t forced to sail overloaded ferries. He’s calling out Ministers Juan Edghill and Deodat Indar, demanding they resign so a fair, independent investigation can finally begin.
