Attorney General Anil Nandlall on Monday lashed out at the media charging that their “biased” public pronouncements on the issuance of radio licences were likely to have a negative impact on the matter which is now the subject of court proceedings.
Speaking at a PPP press conference at Freedom House, Robb Street, Nandlall said the party has always been committed to the freedom of the press and freedom of expression. He noted that both freedoms are protected under Guyana’s Constitution. “While we champion freedom of the press and freedom of expression…we have been very emphatic in our assistance that this right carries with it responsibilities,” he stated.
“There is a distinct impression being conveyed to the public that there was racial profiling and ethnic profiling in the grant of licences in relation to radio,”
