President Irfaan Ali’s attempt to dismiss allegations about the size of his Long Creek farm has been thrown into question after satellite and geospatial analysis indicated that the property spans approximately 155 acres—contradicting the President’s public claim that Opposition Leader Azruddin Mohamed had grossly exaggerated its size.

The controversy erupted after Mohamed released documentary and photographic evidence that President Ali owns a sprawling multi-billion-farm at Long Creek, along the Soesdyke-Linden Highway. The Opposition Leader placed the size of the property at about 150 acres and questioned how it was acquired, before calling on the President to resign in the interest of accountability and public confidence.

The allegations quickly ignited national debate over transparency, asset disclosure and the standards expected of holders of the country’s highest office.
