United States Ambassador to Guyana Brent Hardt yesterday called for the National Broadcasting Authority to “promptly review and approve” qualified applicants for radio licences, even as Attorney General Anil Nandlall considered the possibility that the “right methodology” might not have been used in the allocations made by former president Bharrat Jagdeo.
Ambassador Hardt made the call in an address to media workers and others during an event at his residence to mark World Press Freedom Day, which is being observed today, and he noted the statements of concern by numerous international bodies, such as the International Press Institute (IPI) and the Association of Caribbean Media Workers (ACM),
