ON October 5, the People’s Progressive Party/Civic (PPP/C) will be celebrating 20 years since it took office in 1992, after a resounding victory at the polls which heralded the return of democracy to Guyana. Similarly, October 9 also marks a significant anniversary, as it represents 20 years and four uninterrupted complete terms in office for the party, since the late Dr. Cheddi Jagan was sworn in as the first PPP/C executive president of Guyana.
Head of the Presidential Secretariat, Dr. Roger Luncheon, at his weekly post-Cabinet press briefing at the Office of the President Thursday, said that the feature event to commemorate these historic milestones is scheduled for October 9 at the Guyana International Conference Centre (GICC), Liliendaal.
At this activity, there will be a number of cultural presentations and an address by President Donald Ramotar.
The HPS said that the Head of State’s address would be dedicated to 20 years of change and most importantly, the outcome of the 20 years of change.
During the rest of the month, Guyanese will be invited in all of the administrative regions to focus on change and participate in nationwide observances including workshops, photographic exhibitions, and other activities with other social partners. (GINA)
