GEORGETOWN, GUYANA — The Ministry of Housing - Central Housing and Planning Authority (CH&PA), wishes to inform the public regarding ongoing enforcement actions and investigations concerning contractor Mr. Omar Malik and his company, DreamVu Homes.

The Ministry reaffirms its unwavering commitment to pursuing all available legal, administrative, and international avenues to ensure accountability and secure justice for the families affected by Mr. Malik's actions.

Over an extended period, the Ministry has taken definitive, documented steps to address the serious concerns arising from Mr. Malik’s failure to honor his contractual obligations regarding the construction of Young Professional Homes. Contrary to external commentary or misinformed narratives, the Ministry has been actively investigating this matter well ahead of recent public discourse:

●Public Notices: The Ministry issued multiple public notices on social media and in the national daily newspapers, including those published in August 2025, formally urging Mr. Malik to report to the Ministry to settle outstanding financial matters.

●Domestic Criminal Reports: Following non-compliance, formal reports were submitted to the Guyana Police Force (GPF).

●International Law Enforcement Mobilization: Due to Mr. Malik's departure from the jurisdiction, the Ministry’s Enforcement and Compliance Department has formally engaged regional and international security organizations. Relevant information has been shared for immediate review and cross-border action with:
INTERPOL (The International Criminal Police Organization)
The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI)
CARICOM IMPACS (Implementing Agency for Crime and Security) and other pertinent international authorities.

Throughout this process, the Ministry has maintained close contact with affected individuals and continues to explore all lawful options to assist those impacted. Efforts are ongoing to collect information, support investigations, and facilitate resolutions where possible. While every effort has been made to act swiftly and responsibly, the situation remains unfortunate and has caused significant distress to those involved.

The Ministry strongly denounces and dismisses recent attempts by political commentators to weaponize the situation of these families. Groundless assertions that regulatory bodies have remained passive are not only entirely false, but they also disregard the extensive, multi-agency legal framework currently operating to apprehend the individual in question. The Ministry cautions the public against politically motivated rhetoric that seeks to distort documented facts.

It is important to highlight that the Ministry has exercised due diligence throughout, acting in accordance with legal procedures and fully cooperating with relevant authorities.
The Ministry remains committed to transparency, accountability, and the protection of citizens’ interests.
