MV Barima Sinking Inquiry Launched | Guyana News

Published 1 week, 6 days ago
Description

President Ali has launched a high-powered Commission of Inquiry into the deadly sinking of the MV Barima, which vanished off Region Two’s coast in July 2026, claiming lives and leaving families shattered. Led by Justice Godfrey Phillip Smith, the five-member panel will probe every angle—from ship safety and cargo handling to crew conduct and rescue failures—while scrutinizing oversight from key maritime agencies. With authority to recommend criminal and disciplinary actions, this commission isn’t just investigating—it’s poised to hold wrongdoers accountable. Facing a tight two-month deadline, it also has the power to issue urgent safety alerts if risks emerge. Public hearings ensure transparency as the nation watches closely for answers—and justice.
