As a form of officially acknowledging Guyana becoming a Republic in 1970, the Flag Raising ceremony was executed yesterday morning.
Yesterday’s ceremony marked the second of its kind that President Donald Ramotar attended in his present capacity. He arrived at the Public Buildings in a motorcade being led by three police outriders.
With all other usual protocols observed, the ceremony was graced with an all-female guard of honour.
The event was attended by a number of Diplomats, Ambassadors, Ministers of Government, Speaker of the National Assembly and other politicians.
The public gathered across the road to observe the proceedings. At the end of the ceremony, as the President took his leave, one citizen breached security and got a chance to “touch the President’s hands.”
In good faith, Ramotar shook the gentleman’s hands and continued shaking to other citizens while being driven out of the area.
Mashramani, often abbreviated to “Mash”, is an annual festival that celebrates Guyana becoming a Republic. The word “Mashramani” is derived from an Amerindian dialect and in translation means “the celebration of a job well done”.
