Georgetown, Guyana – July 17, 2026 – In a fiery and potentially explosive revelation that has sent shockwaves through the political and mining sectors, Leader of the Opposition Azruddin Mohamed has leveled a series of serious corruption allegations against Minister of Agriculture Zulfikar Mustapha and his family.

In a recent video statement on social media, Mohamed alleges a systematic manipulation of the Guyana Geology and Mines Commission (GGMC) allocation process. He claims the Mustafa family; who he describes as having no mining background and only “started navigating Georgetown after 2020”, has been granted thousands of acres of prime gold mining lands, while local small-scale miners who applied decades ago are left empty-handed .

According to Mohamed, the allocation figures are staggering. He alleged specific grants to Dr. Vashni Ganeshnath (daughter-in-law): 2,867 acres (3 blocks), Javed Mustafa (son): 2,349 acres (2 blocks) and Zahid Mustafa (other son): 2,398 acres (2 blocks).
