GBTI pulls inappropriate advertisement
Dear Editor,
It has always been my resolve not to respond to comments made about the Bank in the media in like manner. However, in the case of the comments by your columnist, Mr Freddy Kissoon, in your edition of Wednesday, November 25, 2015, “What is President Granger going to say to GBTI”, I am compelled to so do to offer an apology to Mr Kissoon and any member of the public who may have been offended or bothered by the advertisement placed in your paper about our latest savings product, “The Education Savings Plan”. No offence was intended. I admit that not enough thought may have been given to the creation of the advertisement and hasten to inform that this advertisement was “pulled” forthwith when Mr. Kissoon’s comments were read.
I wish also to take the opportunity to say to Mr. Kissoon that the Education Savings Plan has a flier and a brochure that are adorned with the photographs of real Guyanese children, and adults that showcase the rich variety of our races (see attached).This being said, I now hope that attention would be focused on the elements of the Plan considered praiseworthy by the Honourable Minister of Education, Dr Rupert Roopnaraine.
John T. Tracey
Chief Executive Officer
