A delegation from the New York State Legislature departed Guyana this week after a visit where they met with a wide cross-section of stakeholders from the Government, Opposition and Civil Society.
The delegation included Guyana-born Senator Roxanne J. Persaud, Chair of the State’s Social Services Committee, and Assemblywoman Alicia Hyndman, Chair of the Committee of Standing Committees.
Senator Persaud spoke with Stabroek News shortly before her departure and explained that the trip was not a fact-finding one.
