In a stand against corruption, the Transparency Institute of Guyana Inc (TIGI) staged a march from the Umana Yana to the Public Buildings yesterday.
The march is an annual demonstration by the group to commemorate International Anti-Corruption Day, which is observed on December 9th.
“…It’s coincidental that it’s taking place when the Leader of the Opposition and the National Assembly are engaged in a debate on one of the most significant budgets ever presented in this country, post-independence and probably before independence… but we’re not here to discuss the politics of the budget, we’re here to talk about corruption. And we think corruption still exists to a large extent in this country,” said attorney Christopher Ram, who is a member of TIGI
