No travel ‘ban’ directive on defaulting UG students

Minister of Citizenship Winston Felix said yesterday that he has not received any instructions to execute a travel ban on University of Guyana loan defaulters and the press was later accused of using language loosely.

“I have read it in the newspapers. All I am going to say, in terms of execution that has not reached me. That statement has not reached me from the top, so I would be waiting to see what the honourable minister really intends when he puts out the documentation but we don’t know where that statement came from. I cannot account for it. It is not within official circles at this point in time,” Felix told the Parliamentary Sectoral Commit-tee on Foreign Relations.
