THE Upper Corentyne Chamber of Commerce and Industry (“UCCCI”) express their heartfelt condolences to the children, relatives, People Progressive Party and the Nation on the passing of the Former President of Guyana, Janet Jagan O.E

May her soul rest in peace
Guyanese people have indeed lost one of their most precious gems

THE Guyanese people have indeed lost one of their most precious gems. I agreed with the People’s Progressive Party General Secretary Donald Ramotar when he said that Guyana’s history was changed when she touched these shores in 1943.

Mrs. Janet Jagan played a great role in Guyana’s attainment of independence from its colonial masters. I could not help but notice the many people and all different races in the crowd at the state funeral. It was then that I realized that she was loved by the people of Guyana.

The women in Guyana are indeed empowered by what she did for them. Even though she was a foreigner she gave so much to this land and I believe that she did not deserve the treatment she received from some sections of society.

Mrs. Jagan was an outstanding journalist and until her death she was still writing articles. She has indeed made a mark on contemporary history in Guyana.

Guyana will never forget the Jagans and their contribution to this nation. Let’s take this time and reflect on the achievements of these great personalities.
