Bishwa Panday

The government yesterday announced that well-known insurance broker Bishwa Panday will be chairing the Board of Directors of the National Communications Network (NCN) and AFC candidate Leonard Craig will be heading the Guyana National Broadcasting Authority (GNBA) board.

Minister of State Joseph Harmon, at his post-Cabinet press briefing, also announced that Programme Manager of the Amerindian People’s Association (APA) Jean La Rose, who was also Deputy Representative of the APNU+AFC list, will be chairing the board of the Guyana National Newspapers Limited (GNNL), which publishes the Guyana Chronicle.

Panday told Stabroek News he will endeavour to ensure that as Chairman of NCN the entity will be self-sufficient. “I will try to run it in a cost-effective manner, so that it won’t be a burden on the treasury,” he said.

He contended that the populace will get value for taxes as there will be accountability.
