Hundreds of pregnant heifers imported from Brazil under the Government of Guyana’s national herd expansion programme were left stranded at the Ebini landing on Monday as opposition Members of Parliament raised fresh questions about whether the animals were originally intended for another destination before being redirected to the government’s Breeding and Research Centre.

APNU Member of Parliament Dr. Terrence Campbell and Member of Parliament Saiku Andrews travelled to Ebini after learning that the shipment had encountered significant logistical problems. During a livestream from the landing, the parliamentarians observed trucks loaded with pregnant heifers waiting for transportation while workers scrambled to make last-minute arrangements to move the animals across the river. They said excavators were being used to create makeshift access after barges and unloading facilities proved inadequate.
