A Partnership for National Unit (APNU) has registered its concern over being told that the Office of the President (OP) has control over the Square of the Revolution, which had led to a delay in the granting of permission to use a noisy instrument at Friday’s rally. This information was relayed by Divisional Commander Clifton Hicken in response to the party’s request for permission to use the noisy instrument.
When contacted shortly after APNU dispatched a copy of Hicken’s letter and a press release on the issue, the commander explained to Stabroek News that though the Square of the Revolution is a public place it “comes under the control of OP.” He indicated that the issue had since been sorted out as APNU was given the greenlight
