Get with the new dispensation and open up NCN to all Guyanese

May 19, 2013 Letters

Dear Editor
It is unfortunate that the leadership at NCN has allowed that organization to become so tarnished that they cannot represent the truth, which is that Guyana now has a minority Government.  In an atmosphere of a minority Government, the State Media must align itself more with National Assembly and the President rather than spitefully ignoring the majority opposition who have to vote funds for them.
NCN should spend more of its hours preparing the Guyanese people to accepting defeat for the Government. So when NCN issues a press release attacking the actions taken by the majority in the Parliament, claiming that they (NCN) “exhibited a strong sense of responsibility to the public, by promoting and being involved in all aspects of national development”, we didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. The NCN is one of the most irresponsible media outlets in Guyana.
We therefore reject this statement from the Board and Management of NCN and advise them most humbly to clean up their act and serve all the people all the time and only then, will they be entitled to the people’s money. As soon as the opposition takes a political stand on an issue, regardless if it is good for Guyana, all shape, shade and sort of PPP operatives finds a seat in the studios of NCN to give only their side of the story.  Where we are trained, that is called PROPAGANDA.  A responsible media outlet seeks all sides of the story and leaves the information out in the public for the people to form their own judgment.  But the PPP continues to treat the Guyanese people like horses and continue to feed them a diet of PPP “molasses” every day on NCN.  But no one is listening to NCN!
So speaking directly to Prem Misir and the acting General Manager; it is high time you all get with the new dispensation and open up NCN to all Guyanese.
As a point of keen note, when the Caribbean Court of Justice rules on the Budget cuts, it hoped that those who withdrew money in 2012 illegally to give to NCN without the Parliament’s approval are aware they can be personally surcharged for misappropriation of taxpayers’ funds. So we advise the Board of NCN to seek immediate legal counsel and start accumulating the money at NCN to pay back the Treasury even if it is five years from now.
