Addressing her statement directly to the Guyanese people, former Minister within the A Partnership for National Unity and Alliance for Change (APNU+AFC) Government and former Member of Parliament Annette Ferguson has raised fresh questions about President Irfaan Ali’s controversial Long Creek ranch, urging citizens to demand answers about the acquisition, expansion and financing of the property.

In a statement posted on social media, Ferguson cited what she described as a duplicate lease for State lands that has been circulating publicly and renewed calls for transparency over the acquisition, expansion and development of the property, which has become one of the most contentious political issues facing the Ali administration.

The controversy first erupted Sunday after We Invest in Nationhood (WIN) and Opposition Leader Azruddin Mohamed released a widely circulated video showcasing the scale of the Long Creek ranch and questioning how such an extensive agricultural enterprise could have been financed. The disclosure triggered a national debate over transparency, the allocation of State lands and the wealth of public officials. President Ali has since publicly acknowledged ownership of the ranch, but questions surrounding its acquisition, expansion and financing have continued to mount.
