Minister of Culture, Youth and Sport Charles Ramson says the Opposition APNU+AFC should have been invited to the Republic Day flag-raising ceremony but said that he did not “follow through” with the planning of the event.
The ceremony was held on the lawns outside of Parliament on February 22 and saw the attendance of foreign diplomats and a slew of government officials. The only Opposition Parliamentarian present was the Liberty and Justice Party’s Lenox Shuman – who said he received an invite, twice, from the Ministry and Minister of Culture, Youth and Sport.
