GT&T, Digicel in joint appeal for healing

GT&T and Digicel yesterday jointly condemned last Saturday’s horrendous acts in the village of Lusignan on the East Coast of Demerara and called for good sense to prevail.

The companies, which compete for the local cellular market, believe that it is time for every section of Guyanese society to come together to bring healing. “It is a time for strong leadership and for us all to provide support in the face of the present crisis.

“This joint release is a demonstration by the two companies that a matter of such great national importance must supersede the normal day to day element of competition.

“This is a time, we believe, when all Guyanese must stand up as one, fully recognising the threat posed to the nation’s stability. We invite everyone to share our commitment to bring people together and link communities through active communication,” the companies said.

The joint release said that the companies stood ready to assist in any way they could to facilitate the maintenance of peace across Guyana.
