Civil society group Policy Forum Guyana, one of the organisations behind the recent call for greater government accountability and transparency, has dubbed the ensuing attack by the Irfaan Ali-led administration proof that their concerns are legitimate.
“Rather than attack the message of the release, spokespersons for the Government have attacked the messengers,” the organisation said in a statement on Saturday as it decried as distasteful what it said was the harassment of the elderly religious women who run an orphanage, and the President of the Blind Society, people who provide care and support for the neediest in society for expressing their opinion.
