Dear Editor,
It was reported that the Prime Minister was chased from a GTUC Labour Day rally by some workers, after being invited by union officials, who seemed to have done nothing. Why was there no police protection and if there was, why did they not arrest or protect the PM? The union officials owe the PM an apology.
The practice of people disturbing public officials’ meetings or attendance at them must be stopped forcefully and immediately. The security must be stationed nearby to act if necessary. If it goes unpunished these ‘hooligans’ will think that it’s okay to do it again. This is another case of lack of security in Guyana.
Yours faithfully,
(Name and address provided)
Editor’s note
Prime Minister Samuel Hinds was not physically chased from the rally; he arrived very late and a section of the audience, mostly women, demanded that he leave.
