Gov’t, opposition spokesmen agree business summit was good engagement

Government and opposition spokesmen have agreed that this week’s two-day Private Sector Business Summit was a good engagement and the organiser is also optimistic about the way forward.

Minister of Business Dominic Gaskin had told the forum at the Marriott Hotel that while the government’s ministers were presenters, all participants should be vocal and openly express views and give their ideas to develop the business sector.

“We as ministers are not infallible and certainly not the fountain of all knowledge or the spark of every idea and that is why a forum like this can be constructive and (find) solutions for some of the challenges that face businesses in Guyana,” Gaskin told attendees.
