The painting of the buildings at the Ministry of the Presidency (MOTP) in the colour green is in keeping with government’s push to develop Guyana into a green state, President David Granger said last evening on ‘The Public Interest’ television programme.

“We are not going to change the colour of Red House… we would like to send a message to the rest of the country, to our schools, to our hospitals, to other government buildings that yes, it’s cool to be green,” he said in response to a question about the appropriateness of the new colour.
