President David Granger yesterday commissioned a community radio station at Orealla, Region Six – the latest in a series across the country.
Speaking at the commissioning, the Head of State said that, “We are pursuing service to the people… This is an innovative programme and at the end of it every region is going to have a Regional Broadcasting Service Station. We are going to ensure that the entire Republic of Guyana is connected. Every Guyanese, everywhere he or she might go must be in touch with his national broadcasting service… Wherever you are in Guyana you must be able to tune to your National Broadcasting Service. Why? Because it is a public good. This service is not look after some personality or not to conduct propaganda,” he said.
According to a release from the Ministry of the Presidency, he said that access to reliable and accurate public information can play a significant role transforming communities.
