BREAKING NEWS: Presidential Aide Reveals Why President Irfaan Ali Remains Silent on U.S. Lobbyist Targeting
In a surprising development today, a senior personal assistant to the President of Guyana has broken silence, revealing confidential insight into why President Dr. Mohamed Irfaan Ali has consistently refrained from directly addressing the growing concerns surrounding the interest of U.S.-based lobbyist
s in Guyana’s internal affairs.
According to the aide, who chose to remain anonymous due to the sensitivity of the information, President Ali has been under immense diplomatic pressure to remain silent due to ongoing negotiations and strategic alignments with major international partners, including the United States. These undisclosed agreements, many of which reportedly involve natural resource management, defense cooperation, and cybersecurity, have tied the president’s hands when it comes to publicly confronting lobbying efforts.
“The President has always placed Guyana’s long-term interests first,” the aide explained. “Speaking openly could jeopardize behind-the-scenes progress on several agreements that are still in the works. It’s not a matter of hiding the truth—it’s about protecting national interests in a very delicate moment.”
The U.S. lobbying activity has intensified in recent years, especially following the discovery of massive offshore oil reserves that have turned Guyana into one of the hottest energy spots in the Western Hemisphere. As multinational corporations pour into the country, so have political intermediaries, special interest groups, and lobbyists aiming to influence local legislation, environmental policies, and foreign investment regulations.
The aide further disclosed that some of the lobbying firms in Washington, D.C. have submitted formal requests for influence through legal diplomatic channels, which are now under review by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation. “These aren’t rogue actors,” the aide emphasized. “Many of them are operating under the guise of legitimate partnership-building, but with clear strategic agendas tied to global energy control.”
Public frustration has grown in Guyana as opposition members and civil society organizations have demanded answers regarding the president’s silence. Critics say his refusal to directly comment on foreign influence could be interpreted as weakness or even complicity.
However, the aide rebuffed these claims, stating that Dr. Ali is “well aware of every move being made” and that a larger strategy is in play. “President Ali has not been idle. He has been quietly strengthening regional alliances, investing in intelligence oversight, and tightening national laws on foreign lobbying—all in preparation for a proper response when the time is right.”
The timing of this leak is crucial, as it comes amid growing calls for transparency and a full governmental briefing on all foreign lobbying activities in the country. International watchdog groups and Caribbean political analysts have also begun monitoring the situation closely, warning of potential overreach by foreign powers in shaping the policies of small, resource-rich nations.
As pressure builds, many now await a formal address from President Ali himself. Whether he will finally speak openly on the matter—or continue down the path of strategic silence—remains to be seen.
But one thing is certain: Guyana stands at a critical crossroads between sovereignty and influence, and the world is watching.
