In a statement on Sunday, the PNCR criticized the government for what it said was negligence in handling the IBH outbreak, which reportedly has led to significant losses for poultry farmers across Guyana. The party’s press release highlighted claims of high mortality rates among poultry, particularly in small and medium-sized farms, with Jordan demanding transparency and immediate action from the Ministry.
