The opposition party, A Partnership for National Unity (APNU), has raised serious concerns regarding the Guyana government’s handling of recent bombings that have shaken the capital. These attacks targeted critical infrastructure and resulted in the tragic death of a six-year-old girl, alongside injuries to four others. Shadow Home Affairs Minister Sherod Duncan has formally questioned Home Affairs Minister Oneidge Walrond in the National Assembly, demanding clarity on whether a national threat-assessment bulletin was issued between May and October 2025. Duncan’s inquiry also seeks details on the recipients of such a bulletin, if it exists. The bombings in question include two simultaneous explosions on May 17, which damaged the Ruimveldt Police Outpost and a Guyana Power and Light substation, and a subsequent attack on October 26 at a Mobil gas station. Duncan has further pressed the government to disclose whether an internal review was conducted following the May incidents, and what recommendations emerged from it. Additionally, he has sought information on intelligence regarding Spanish-speaking nationals implicated in the October attack, as well as the mechanisms for real-time cross-border alert sharing among immigration, Customs Anti-Narcotics Unit (CANU), and the Guyana Police Force.
