(Kaieteur News) – Businessman and social commentator Glenn Lall has questioned what he described as the misplaced priorities of the Guyanese public, arguing that the country is consumed by debate over President Irfaan Ali’s massive farming operation while remaining largely silent on what he considers the far greater issue, the management of Guyana’s oil and mineral wealth.

Speaking during one of his recent social media commentaries, Lall said the nation has become fixated on the President’s cattle, sheep, poultry, aquaculture and cash crop farm, even as Guyana continues to receive what he called an unfair share from the Stabroek Block.

“Guyanese have gone wild over President Ali’s cattle, sheep, poultry, fish and cash crop farm, but have shown little outrage over the giveaway of the Kaieteur, Canje and Stabroek blocks assets that are worth trillions of US dollars and could have transformed the country’s landscape and uplifted every Guyanese had they been properly negotiated.”
