Dear Editor,
THE People’s National Congress Reform (PNCR) finds it malicious and mendacious, a report on Page five (5) of the Guyana Times dated January 22, 2017, under the caption – “PNC General Council Meeting Granger assures commitment to Coalition Gov’t… as Senior Public Servants express displeasure at being requested to attend.” No amount of misinformation, political mischief or creative writing by the Publisher and Editor of the Guyana Times can change the fact that the General Council of the PNCR is an institution of the Party that comprises only members of the PNCR.
No Senior Public Servants were or are ‘requested’ to attend.
Article 16 (1) of the PNCR Constitution states; The General Council shall comprise
(a) All members of the Central Executive Committee
(b) The Representatives of the Regional and Sub- Divisional Committees
(c) All PNCR Regional Chairmen and Vice-Chairmen
(d) All eligible persons who were candidates on the party’s list at the last General Election.
(e) Three (3) representatives of the Guyana Youth and Student Movement (GYSM)
(f) Three (3) Representatives of the National Congress of Women (NCW)
(g) All Chairmen, Vice Chairmen of Local Democratic Organs, Mayors and Deputy Mayors who were elected to office on the Party’s list of candidates.
The PNCR calls on the Publisher and Editor of the Guyana Times to immediately correct the mischievous and mendacious article that bears no resemblance to truth.
Regards
