Presidential Advisor on Governance Gail Teixeira yesterday chided some of the leaders joining the protest action for saying that Linden is poorer than anywhere else in the country, insisting that this is not a true statement.
According to a GINA press release, Teixeira stated that figures from the World Bank, UNICEF and United Nations Development Pro-gramme (UNDP) would show that the highest level of poverty in Guyana is among the Amerindian people, “which is something we are struggling to overcome with improved health and education and so on.”
