Linden receives long-awaited television licence

Mar 04, 2019 News

Mayor of Linden Wanneka Arrindel yesterday received the long awaited license for the Linden Television Station from Minister of State Joseph Harmon.
The presentation was made shortly before the culmination of the Town’s Mashramani Float parade, in the vicinity of the Bayrock Community Centre Ground.
“I just want to present this document to you and to say that I’m extremely happy to hand this document over to you, from the Government of Guyana to the people of Linden,” Minister Harmon posited.
Mayor Arrindel in brief remarks pointed out, “Linden, this now belongs to us, and I know we’re going to use this, and use it well.”
She thanked the Government and especially Minister Harmon. The Mayor further challenged those with the requisite skills and knowledge to get on board to assist with the running of the operations of the facility.
Minister Harmon had promised Lindeners at the recent Flag raising ceremony that, “in just a matter of a week”, the Guyana National Broadcasting Authority (GNBA) would issue to the residents of Linden, the licence for the Linden Television Station (LTV).
Harmon had alluded to the development as historical for Linden.
The much anticipated event was welcomed by residents who had been waiting for years for this to become a reality.
The granting of the licence formed part of the August 21st agreement, between former Regional Chairman Sharma Solomon and the PPPC Administration, following the culmination of the bloody protest in 2012 against the imposition of increased electricity tariffs for the mining Town.
