  Opposition Leader's Anti-Corruption Credentials Under Scrutiny | Guyana News 20.08.2026 1min

  Guyana’s Opposition Leader is under fire for his sudden, fiery anti-corruption stance—just as his family’s gold empire thrived under the very governments he now condemns. With a U.S. extradition request looming and his legal rights intact, critics question whether his moral outrage is genuine or a political pivot fueled by personal stakes. The irony? He’s publicly engaging with the U.S. Embassy online while fighting their legal grip. Ultimately, justice will be served not by tweets or rallies, but by evidence—and his credibility hinges on whether he stood firm when it mattered most, not just when it was convenient.

  Oil Boom & Profit Shift Unveiled | Guyana News 20.08.2026 1min

  Big oil just got bigger—literally. The Errea Wittu, a floating production beast capable of pumping 250,000 barrels daily, is arriving this week, pushing national output past one million barrels a day and putting us on par with Algeria and Qatar. It’s heading to ExxonMobil’s massive Uaru field in the Stabroek Block, which holds over 800 million barrels. But the real win? Exxon has recouped its costs, flipping the profit split: we now get 40% of net oil revenue instead of a tiny sliver. Meanwhile, political tension flares as the President bypassed constitutional protocol by picking three from his own party instead of APNU’s mandated three.
