Opposition leader Bharrat Jagdeo on Thursday called on President Granger to hold press conferences and accused the Head of State of not allowing himself to be challenged as should be done in a democracy.
“I have a serious issue with the president and his accountability to the nation. He hides behind these pre-packaged interviews and I think it is the time the media say to him ‘we are not going to be complicit in these pre-packaged sort of thing’ because by doing that you create the impression that he is facing a free, independent media corps and is accountable to them…,” Jagdeo said at a press conference.
