Guyana’s government dismisses motion from diaspora conference in Washington

The government of Guyana has firmly dismissed a motion put forward at a Washington Diaspora Conference. This motion is set to be presented to the United States Congress, advocating for intervention in various domains within the Caribbean nation.

Opposition allegedly behind motion

Guyana’s administration, led by Irfaan Ali, said that the opposition party, APNU/AFC, masterminded the document. 

According to the government, the document paints an unbalanced picture, solely highlighting viewpoints that do not reflect the government’s deeds and policies.

Motion’s hidden details and serious calls

Details of the motion remain undisclosed to the public, as reported by Stabroek News. 

Nonetheless, the concealed document is said to appeal for sanctions and suitable measures against Guyana’s government, following claims of corruption and discriminatory practices taking place in the country.

Allegations of bribery and fraud

Errol English, a New Jersey-based senior insurance fraud investigator, delivered the motion. 

Reports are that the document also requests the U.S. State Department to scrutinize Guyanese government officials suspected of involvement in corrupt activities, including bribery and fraud.
