Today’s public symposium on Guyana’s constitutional reform process was driven by popular demand, according to Severin Wilson, head of the Carter Center’s constitutional reform project.
The symposium, which is being held at the University of Guyana’s Education Lecture Theatre at Turkeyen, will see a panel of local and foreign experts facilitating discussion on lessons to be learned from the experiences of Guyana and other countries in the process of constitutional reform.
Constitutional reform, Wilson explained, has been the stated intention of both the government and opposition for many years and the symposium, funded through a grant from the UK High Commission in Guyana, is intended to do nothing more than provide a forum for conversation about how the process is moving forward.
