Rastafari Council congratulates new gov’t

The Guyana Rastafari Council, on behalf of the Rastafari Community of Guyana, has extended congratulations to President David Granger and Prime Minister Moses Nagamootoo on their campaign’s recent victory in the national elections.

“The Rastafari Council and Rastafari community of Guyana stand ready and willing to make our contribution to the process of achieving national unity, progress and development,” Ras Simeon, Council President, said in a statement.

According to the statement, their victory would not have been possible without both leaders restraining their individual interests and egos in support of the higher ideal and aspiration of national unity. It said this is testimony to the kind and quality of leadership that they bring to the service of the nation. “As such, we feel that we speak for all Guyanese in saying that Guyana looks to the future with much confidence in the hope that has been cherished by generations that our full human and natural potential would one day be realised,” it added.
