The state-owned Guyana Chronicle has “unreservedly” apologised for an article published on Wednesday which deliberately altered statements by APNU parliamentarian Keith Scott during his contribution to the debate on the proposed 2013 budget.
The apology followed a ruling on Thursday by Speaker of the National Assembly Raphael Trotman, who said that the Chronicle and the online news agency INews violated the rights of Scott by altering what he had said in relation to mining in Guyana and warned that the entities faced sanctions should they fail to apologise.
It is not clear whether INews has apologised publicly but on Thursday just before informing the House of his ruling,
