The Alliance for Change this evening said it was unaware of the appointment of Brian Tiwarie as a ministerial adviser and says it supported President David Granger’s decision to rescind it.
A statement from the AFC follows:
In light of a misleading and erroneous front page headline in today’s edition of the Guyana Chronicle, the Alliance For Change wishes to clarify the following:
- At no time was the party or any of its leaders aware of the appointment of Mr. Brian Tiwarie as Ministerial Advisor prior to the public revelation. Following the public revelation of same party Leader Khemraj Ramjattan raised the issue with His Excellency President David Granger and the party supports His Excellency’s decision to rescind the appointment.
- The party was only aware of the appointments of the following persons as Diaspora Advisors:
- Rohan Somar
- Ron Alert
- Ewart Marshall
- Tameshwar Lilmohan
These appointments were widely reported in the media. The AFC had also recommended Mr. Floyd Haynes for similar Diaspora Advisor appointment but is, to date, unaware of if this was done.
The party reiterates that it was not consulted or informed of any advisor appointments other than those listed above.
