IAC calls for a new location for Cabinet meetings

Oct 29, 2016 Letters

Dear Editor,
The Indian Action Committee (IAC) is shocked and extremely disappointed that the Government of Guyana has seen it fit to hold its Cabinet meetings at the headquarters of the Guyana Defence Force at Camp Ayanganna while renovations are being made at the Ministry of the Presidency (MOTP), according to a media report.
The IAC, feels that this is not only a bad decision by the government of Guyana, but it is inexcusable and unacceptable given the historical fact that the headquarters of the Guyana Defence Force at Camp Ayanganna is the same place where there were serious accusations of manipulations of general elections which took place during the years of the PNC .
The IAC understands that a large section of the population of Guyana is very concerned with the apparent militarization of the government and its agencies, and a move like this will only serve to cause more anxiety amongst those that did not vote for the coalition government.
The IAC urges the Government of Guyana to immediately abandon this thought of utilizing the headquarters of the Guyana Defence Force at Camp Ayanganna for Cabinet meetings, and quickly identify an alternative location, in the context of social stability that is acceptable to all of the people of Guyana.
Saira Alli
Secretary,
Indian Action Committee
