Letter to Granger was for evidence only – GINA head

Head of the Government Information Agency (GINA) Neaz Subhan said yesterday that the letter the agency had sent to Opposition Leader David Granger was to bring the evidence to him that there was an effect from the budget cuts made by the joint opposition. Subhan said that was the intention of the letter to Granger and agreed that GINA falls under the Office of the President which is managed by President Donald Ramotar. He made the comments after he was asked by Stabroek News during a telephone interview whether GINA will be writing to the President as advised by Granger.

In a letter dated June 13, 2013, and signed by the management and staff of GINA, the employees said they were prompted by Granger’s comments that there was no effect from the cuts made by the joint opposition to the budgetary allocations of some agencies in
