Saying that any move to bar University of Guyana (UG) student loan defaulters from leaving the country would be illegal, President David Granger yesterday emphasised the need for more persuasive measures to be used to ensure repayments.
“It [unpaid loans] is a problem and as I said I understand the minister’s frustration but banning people from leaving the country… is not provided for in the law,” Granger said in a pre-released recording of the ‘Public Interest,’ which will be televised tonight.
