PRESIDENT Donald Ramotar, in a letter to A Partnership for National Unity (APNU).Leader Mr David Granger, dated September 20 , has reiterated his Administration’s continued commitment to meet with the Opposition on matters of importance to the Guyanese people.

He, however, expressed grave reservations over the “the media-based communication” approach adopted by Granger.
“There is nothing that my team and I have done to prompt you to disregard our usual format. As such, I again extend to you an opportunity, at your convenience, to meet on these critical issues,” the President said.

The President highlighted that he responded to Mr. Granger’s September 9 letter, requesting clarification about his insistence on matters pertaining to the Local Government Elections, but has not received any response to date.
“While awaiting your response, the Office of the President has noted your resort to the media, where you have been reported to have agreed to commence protests in support of your demands for Local Government Elections. At the same time, the media reports your calls for meetings with my Administration on other critical issues affecting Guyana,” Mr. Ramotar said.
According to the Head of State, notwithstanding this slight, his team remains on standby to engage the Opposition on matters of importance to the Guyanese people, since he is currently attending the United Nations General Assembly.
