LEADER of the PNCR, David Granger, has pledged his party’s continued support for the people of Linden and the Upper Demerara-Bebice Region (No. 10) in their quest for social and economic justice and a higher quality of life. Granger committed his party to start donations with 36 sacks of cement. He commended residents on their initiative to rebuild the One Mile Primary School, which was destroyed by arsonists, by self-help. He also applauded hundreds of residents who started making on-the-spot financial donations and pledges to assist in rebuilding the school.
Granger said that Linden was an example to the rest of the nation on how grass-roots democracy really works and congratulated residents on the steadfastness and sacrifice they demonstrated during the crisis.
He travelled to Linden, Saturday to participate in a commemorative ceremony in observance of the 18th July killing of three Lindeners – Ron Sommerset, Allen Lewis and Shemroy Bouyea – by the police. He expressed his party’s disappointment that, after one month, no one had been arrested or charged with the killings.
The PNCR has pledged to continue to stand with the families and victims of the 18th July atrocity until justice is served, a PNCR statement said last evening.
