Presidential candidates to meet business community

Presidential candidates representing the PPP/C, the PNCR and the AFC are to meet the business community at separate luncheons beginning later this month.

As the campaign for the general elections swings into gear, the Guyana Manufacturing and Services Association today announced that it had obtained the consent of the three parties to host their candidates in a series of discourses.

The first one is set for April 27th with AFC Presidential candidate Khemraj Ramjattan. PNCR Presidential candidate David Granger will address the business community on May 11th and PPP/C Presidential candidate Donald Ramotar on May 25th. All three luncheons will be held at the Guyana Pegasus Hotel.

The manufacturers’ release said “The series will take the form of Business Luncheons that will be open not only to members of the GMSA, but to the entire business community and other stakeholders who are interested in the plans and programmes that each candidate has devised to promote private sector development in Guyana.

“Admission will be by invitation only, so interested parties are asked to contact the GMSA Secretariat, 157 Waterloo St., North Cummingsburg, Georgetown, for further information.”

The release said that the GMSA currently represents the interests of small and large businesses in the manufacturing and services sectors here. It congratulated the three candidates and said that it is looking forward to a productive election campaign.
