The Guyana Human Rights Association (GHRA) in a release yesterday responded to what it termed “Minister Nandlall’s most recent invective” against the Association.
According to the statement, the minister’s tirade may have been “triggered” by the GHRA’s proposal that electoral problems in Guyana run deeper than the “mayhem and turmoil” associated with the 2020 elections. It added that the social media news service, Newsroom, reported that Nandlall had questioned the membership, financing and political orientation of the GHRA.
In response the GHRA offered that the “flimsiness of his allegations” did not merit a reply since there was sufficient information in the public domain to dispel the allegations. It pointed out that “the results of GHRA elections are issued in press releases; GHRA modest accounts are audited; the GHRA Board comprises a majority of persons under thirty years of age,” while adding that such “vigilance” has served the GHRA well against “malicious attacks from disgruntled politicians and journalists” since its inception over forty years ago.
