Several farmers have publicly refuted claims made by the Opposition Leader regarding the Ministry of Agriculture’s land clearing programme, describing the allegations as false and misleading. The initiative was introduced to assist farmers with clearing up to five acres of land, enabling them to expand cultivation, increase production, and make productive use of their agricultural holdings.

In a video circulated on social media, Opposition operatives alleged that lands were being cleared for deceased persons. However, individuals whose names were mentioned have since appeared in videos confirming that they are alive, actively farming, and legitimate beneficiaries of the programme. Their testimonies have exposed the inaccuracies contained in the Opposition's claims and highlighted the disconnect between the allegations being made and the realities on the ground.

The farmers have expressed gratitude for the support received through the programme. Their responses serve as a direct rebuttal to the misinformation being circulated and reinforce the Government’s commitment to implementing programmes that deliver tangible benefits to farmers and rural communities across Guyana.
