While charging that censorship is very much alive in Guyana, PPP General Secretary Clement Rohee on Monday expressed concern over the party’s statements not being carried by the daily newspapers.
“Increasingly, persons of various political hues and shades are voicing their concerns and reservations over the role and content of the state-controlled Chronicle newspaper. Press censorship is being driven from the office of the Prime Minister in particular and the Ministry of Presidency in general; the vehement denials notwithstanding,” Rohee said, while reading from a prepared statement at the PPP’s weekly press conference at Freedom House.
This statement was the only one read at the press conference.
“The People’s Progressive Party is the only political Party that hosts a weekly press conference at which one or two press statements are read and subjected to questioning by journalists present. The statements are promptly sent electronically to all media houses.
