The Guyana Livestock Development Authority (GLDA) rejects recent claims circulating on social media and described as politically motivated misinformation about the Onverwagt Abattoir in Region Five. In multiple statements, GLDA says allegations that the facility is not functioning, is underutilised due to corruption, or has been abandoned are based on speculation rather than evidence. The authority argues that production and operational records show the abattoir is delivering results. One report cites GLDA’s claim that the facility has produced more than 111,650 kilogrammes of beef since it began operations. GLDA also says the broader livestock sector continues to receive attention from the relevant authorities, and it rejects assertions that the Agriculture Ministry neglects the sector. Across the outlets, GLDA portrays the claims as an attempt to create a false narrative and undermine public confidence in Guyana’s agriculture and livestock development. No independent verification of the competing claims is provided in the articles summarized here.
