Minister of Culture, Youth, and Sport Charles Ramson also spoke at the meeting, calling for a moment of silence to honour the victims.

He noted that some facilities are operating without proper licenses and warned that non-compliance could indeed lead to shutdowns.

“There is no excuse for basic standards not to be in place,” Ramson asserted.

Ramson offered support for training and highlighted the need for a shift in safety culture.

He also pointed out that regulatory oversight is enforced by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Guyana Tourism Authority, emphasizing the importance of adhering to these regulations to avoid civil and criminal liabilities.

The meeting continued with exchanges and a strong call to action for all stakeholders to prioritize safety and implement the necessary measures to prevent future tragedies.
