The Government of Guyana today expressed deep condolences to Leader of the Opposition, Bharrat Jagdeo, his relatives and the People’s Progressive Party on the passing of his sister Oma ‘Shanta’ Jagdeo.
The statement from the Department of Public Information said “The government salutes Ms. Jagdeo for her unflagging love for her brother to whom she was not only an older sibling but to whom she was also like a second mother. The loss of a sibling, particularly, a sibling to whom one is particularly close as Mr. Jagdeo was to Ms. Jagdeo, leaves a void which can hardly be filled. The nation stands in solidarity with and holds Mr. Jagdeo up in prayer, in this, his time of grief.”
