In a social media post on Saturday, August 15, 2026, Mahipaul said the Government deliberately chose open tendering to identify a contractor for the recovery of the sunken vessel and argued that the public should therefore have access to key details from the tender-opening process.
“Something to quickly think about. The government of Guyana chose open tendering as the process to get companies to bid for the salvaging of the MV Barima.”
Mahipaul pointed specifically to the August 14 closing date, arguing that the names of the bidders and their tendered amounts should have been disclosed at the public opening of bids.
