95 names released for failing to pay $14.6M in outstanding speeding tickets

…Police to make arrests, pursue suspension of drivers’ licences

In keeping with President Dr Irfaan Ali’s commitment to improving compliance with traffic regulations, the Guyana Police Force (GPF) on Friday released the names of 95 individuals and companies identified as the top offenders for failing to address tickets issued through the Automated Speed Ticketing System.
According to the list, there are 1949 unpaid tickets valued at $14,617,500.
The top offender is Motor Zone Inc, with 77 unpaid tickets, representing an outstanding payment of $577,500. The second listed offender is Coreena Sukhu, with 55 unpaid tickets valued at $412,500, while Shira Khan is the third top offender with 54 unpaid tickets worth $405,000. Other companies identified as top offenders are IDEAL AUTOS INC. with 40 unpaid tickets valued at $300,000; EXSOL (GUYANA) INC. with 18 unpaid tickets worth $135,000; STELLAR FINANCIAL CORPORATION with 15 unpaid tickets worth $112,000; and China Harbour Engineering Corporation and ACTAVO (GUYANA) INC, each with 12 unpaid tickets valued at $90,000.
In a statement accompanying the list, the GPF said it is moving to the courts for them to issue summons and arrest warrants for individuals who have failed to pay outstanding speeding tickets or failed to attend court. “This follows the successful implementation of the Automated Speed Ticketing System, launched earlier this year under the Safe Road Intelligent System (SRIS) Project, in partnership with the National Data Management Authority (NDMA),” the statement noted.
“President Ali recently stated that he was briefed by the Guyana Police Force Traffic Team and expects that within the next 48 hours, widespread charges will begin, including the exploration of possible suspension of licenses,” the statement added.
On Wednesday evening, President Ali had announced that drivers deemed “top offenders” for unpaid tickets will have their licences suspended within 48 hours.
The Head of State revealed that so far, approximately 42,000 tickets were issued through the e-ticketing system, but to date, only about 10,000 have been paid.
This move to name and shame is intended to ensure “the systems we’re building must bring the results we want from them,” the President had explained.
In this regard, the GPF has warned that “offenders who fail to settle their fines promptly will face legal proceedings, and an arrest warrant can be issued for their failure to address the unpaid ticket. A warrant is a legal order issued by the court authorising the arrest of a person who has failed to appear. Failure to comply after a warrant is issued can result in further legal penalties.”
For the year so far, 21 drivers’ licences have been suspended for varying offences, Traffic Chief Assistant Commissioner Mahendra Singh had disclosed earlier this year.
Speeding continues to be a major offence, with some road users clocking levels as high as 180 km/h, the Traffic Chief had also revealed.
There are currently 26 locations across the country where the speed cameras are active. For the year so far, approximately 32,768 cases were made for speeding, from both the manual ticketing process and the e-ticketing system. Moreover, some 1428 driving under the influence of alcohol cases were recorded.

“Fair, accurate, and fully automated”
Meanwhile, according to the GPF statement, the Traffic Chief is quoted as saying that the e-ticketing system is “fair, accurate, and fully automated”.
“There is no manual interference, no bias, and no excuses. Every driver is treated equally under this technology. Our focus is not punishment but prevention. The fewer people we have speeding, the fewer lives we lose,” the Traffic Chief expressed. The GPF emphasised that the system allows for full transparency and accountability. Offenders can conveniently pay their fines via the MMG platform, either through the app or via MMG agents.
Moreover, the police statement highlighted that speeding remains one of the primary causes of traffic fatalities in Guyana. “Between January 1 and June 14, 2025, the country recorded 54 fatal road accidents – an increase of 17 per cent compared to 46 during the same period in 2024. These accidents resulted in 58 deaths, with speeding as the leading cause, accounting for 48 of the 54 fatal accidents in 2025,” the statement revealed.
