Energy Governance Fight: APNU demanded full transparency on the Turkish power company and powership reliance, while InterEnergy outlined a grid modernisation roadmap for GPL through 2030. Parliament Oversight Restart: After an 8-month hiatus, the Committee of Selection finally constituted 13 parliamentary committees, though opposition questioned whether they’ll function effectively. Sovereignty at ICJ: PM Phillips told the National Assembly Guyana will insist on Venezuela respecting sovereignty while awaiting an ICJ ruling expected between Nov 2026 and Jan 2027. Child Protection & Justice: Education Ministry forwarded a probe file to the TSC after alleged mistreatment of a student at David Rose Special School, with disciplinary hearings expected within 10 days. Sex Offences Reform: Amendments to the Sexual Offences Act were tabled, including a proposed National Sex Offender Database and stronger protections for children and vulnerable adults. Oil Wealth Watch: NRF balance was reported at US$4.1B, alongside notifications of petroleum receipts to Parliament.
