Georgetown, Guyana – The scandal that will shake Guyana to its core has now been exposed. According to a statement by the CGID, a shocking revelation from inside Guyana’s Lands and Surveys Department confirms that the ruling People’s Progressive Party (PPP) government has allegedly distributed nearly all available lands on Guyana’s coastal region and the Linden-Soesdyke corridor—a staggering 75% of land in Regions 3, 4, 5, and 6—to East Indian businessmen affiliated with the party.
This outrageous and brazen land grab, orchestrated under the watch of Vice President Bharrat Jagdeo and President Irfaan Ali, is being described as one of the most corrupt and racially motivated economic takeovers in Guyana’s history.
A whistleblower inside the Lands and Surveys Department has now come forward, revealing that these land allocations were deliberately structured to ensure that the ruling party’s wealthy and well-connected elite control nearly every major economic corridor in the country—a move that reeks of systematic corruption, racial favoritism, and political cronyism.
No country in the world would allow one group of people, tied to one political party, to own almost the entire economic landscape. Yet, in Guyana, this is exactly what is happening under the PPP regime. The pattern is undeniable; land deals, contracts, and the nation’s resources are being hoarded by a close-knit cabal of PPP insiders, their families, and their business allies. Meanwhile, ordinary Guyanese citizens, especially Afro-Guyanese, Indigenous peoples, and working-class Guyanese—are left with nothing but broken promises and an increasingly unequal society.
The situation is so egregious that U.S. officials are now actively investigating an elaborate money laundering operation involving these same individuals and a corrupt senior official at Guyana’s Central Housing and Planning Authority (CHPA).
Sources confirm that the United States government is closely monitoring financial transactions linked to these PPP-affiliated land grabs, suspecting a vast network of money laundering, procurement fraud, and illicit financial dealings. If confirmed, senior PPP officials and their business cronies could soon find themselves under U.S. sanctions, indicted in international courts, and subject to financial asset freezes.
CGID Calls for Radical Action—Land Must Be Reclaimed
The Caribbean Guyana Institute for Democracy (CGID) is now demanding that Guyana’s opposition commit to a full-scale reversal of these corrupt land allocations as part of their political campaign. “Every inch of unlawfully distributed land must be reclaimed and reallocated to ordinary Guyanese,” said a spokesperson for CGID.
“We cannot allow our country to be hijacked by a corrupt political class that is selling Guyana piece by piece to their friends and relatives. This level of greed, corruption, and avarice is unprecedented—and it must be stopped!”
Under the leadership of Vice President Bharrat Jagdeo and President Irfaan Ali, Guyana has not only seen a shocking increase in government-controlled wealth transfers to PPP insiders, but also a deepening of racial and economic divides that threaten to permanently entrench corruption and inequality in the country.
Jagdeo’s history of corrupt governance, shady financial dealings, and foreign influence peddling is well documented. Now, under Ali’s administration, the situation has worsened to an unimaginable degree.
The PPP’s clear agenda of racial favoritism and economic apartheid is not only unethical—it’s dangerous. This is not governance; this is theft on a national scale, the statement reads.
According to CGID, Guyana stands at a dangerous crossroads. If this massive land grab is allowed to stand, the future of the country will be controlled by an elite political and ethnic ruling class, leaving the majority of Guyanese citizens with no stake in their own nation. “This is not just corruption. This is not just favoritism. This is Guyana’s future being stolen in broad daylight.”
