The Demerara Tobacco Company Ltd. (DEMTOCO) on Friday rejected an assertion by the PAHO/WHO Representative here, Dr William Adu-Krow that as an industry it would seek to deter President David Granger from assenting to the recently passed Tobacco Control Bill of 2017.
The Pan American Health Organisation/World Health Organisation’s (PAHO/WHO) representative’s remarks were carried by the Kaieteur News last week.
In a statement, DEMTOCO also rebuffed the view that it we would seek to delay the passage of the legislation and pointed to its public pronouncements as proof of the contrary.
