A new group is to be launched to focus on accountability and resources development and it will contest the general elections set for next year.
Well-placed sources say that the name of the new group will be Guyana United for Accountability and Resources Development (GUARD). Sources say the organisers are aware that questions will be raised as to why its acronym mirrors that of Guyanese United for Reform and Democracy which played a seminal role in mobilizing for a return to democracy in the early 1990s.
Sources say that the group will comprise professionals and others who believe that neither of the two main parties has upheld accountability or has demonstrated good governance.
The Mission Statement of the group is Promoting Good Governance, Guarding the Constitution, Securing Guyana’s natural resources.
