Journalists are without media passes for this year according to the Guyana Press Association because it has had no formal response from the Department of Public Information (DPI) to its proposals for the GPA to issue the passes, GPA President Nazima Raghubir said on Monday.
In a response on Tuesday, DPI Director Imran Khan said that Government “has removed itself completely from accrediting media and this responsibility falls entirely with the Guyana Press Association.”
However, since a January 30th meeting, the government is still to formally sanction a plan for the GPA to produce these passes.
