Dear Editor,
Reference is made to the OGGN’s letter in the Stabroek News and Kaieteur News edition of March 27, 2024.
The OGGN, a bogus entity registered in the United States by a group of overseas based Guyanese, none of whom are local taxpayers, and an entity created to deceive the US Government, has sought to apparently clear its name of “false claims”.

The question is what false claims? Interestingly, they have responded to another writer, but ignored this author whom they reported to the UNHRC and have ignored my 15-page response that was also submitted to the UNHRC and published in the local media. Those are the real issues that they need to defend, not those frivolous matters they write about constantly.

In the said letter, the OGGN claimed that all the laws of Guyana are not accessible, so there is denial of access to information in contravention of the Guyana Constitution. This is a classic demonstration, however, of how the OGGN is clueless to the extent that they are totally unaware that all of the laws of Guyana are readily available and accessible on the Attorney-General and Minister of Legal Affairs website.

Additionally, hard copies of all the laws of Guyana can be accessed at the Parliament building’s library, which is open to the public. The bogus entity goes on to state in their letter that other examples of denial of information were included in their report to the UNHRC.

But guess what one of the examples that they referred to was. In their shadow report, they complained about not receiving information under the “Access to Information Act” confirming who is the Minister of Petroleum.
Can you imagine that? This is the sort of question that found its way to the UNHRC.

Isn’t it public knowledge who all the ministers are and their respective portfolios? Furthermore, the official gazette is a public document accessible on the Attorney-General’s website where this type of information can be sourced as well.
This is the level of nonsense that the government has to contend with from bogus NGOs like the OGGN and its members, who should be questioned and exposed for their true intentions.
Yours respectfully,
Joel Bhagwandin
