Policy Forum Guyana Office vandalised in suspected intimidation attempt
(Kaieteur News) – Policy Forum Guyana (PFG) has reported that its Georgetown office at 56B Hadfield and Austin Place—secured by MMC Security was vandalised sometime between Thursday, November 20, and Tuesday, November 25, 2025.
The broken window latch
The office was unoccupied during this period as staff attended meetings convened by Dr. Ivor English on behalf of the Ministry of Natural Resources. “Upon reopening on November 25, staff discovered a broken window latch and evidence of deliberate interference: items were scattered across the desk of the PFG Coordinator, personal items—including feminine hygiene products and a cream were smeared across documents and folders, and numerous drawers and folders had been rifled through,” the organisation said in a press release.
Scattered documents in the office.
Notably, according to the PFG, high-value electronics, including the office cordless phone, internet modem/router, and PFG mobile phone, were left untouched, suggesting the act was targeted rather than opportunistic theft. “This incident comes against the backdrop of PFG’s recent public exchanges with the Government of Guyana regarding the Guyana Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (GYEITI). While no conclusions are being drawn at this time, the timing of the intrusion is concerning. A formal report has been filed with the Alberttown Police Outpost – Criminal Investigation Division (CID), and PFG condemns this act of vandalism as a troubling attempt to interfere with or intimidate its personnel and operations.”
Policy Forum Guyana said it remains steadfast in its commitment to transparency, accountability, and serving the public interest. Further updates will be provided as more information emerges.
