–express sadness at the passing of Adrianna Younge

PSC: THE Private Sector Commission (PSC) extends its deepest condolences to the family, friends, and community members affected by the tragic and untimely passing of Adrianna Younge.
We join the nation in mourning and stand in full solidarity with her loved ones as they seek answers and justice. The Commission joins the President of Guyana, the Leader of the Opposition, the Alliance for Change, and other private sector organisations in calling on all Guyanese to respect the rule of law, refrain from unlawful behaviour, and desist from damaging public or private property.

Most importantly, we urge all citizens to avoid actions that could lead to harm against fellow Guyanese. The PSC expects the Guyana Police Force to take decisive and appropriate action to bring those responsible for acts of violence and destruction to justice.
We strongly reaffirm that the right to peaceful protest is a cornerstone of any democratic society. However, the preservation of public order, adherence to the rule of law, and the protection of lives and property must remain paramount.
Furthermore, the Commission emphasises the importance of allowing the legal and judicial processes to proceed independently, free from political interference or public intimidation. The Commission calls on all national leaders to unequivocally condemn and reject all forms of violence, and to confine their support solely to peaceful and lawful expressions of public concern.

The Private Sector Commission remains resolute in its commitment to peace, justice, and the rule of law in Guyana.
