Ministry attacks toshaos council executive, Shuman

The Ministry of Indigenous Peoples’ Affairs yesterday launched a blistering attack on the National Toshaos Council’s (NTC) Executive Committee and its Vice Chairman Lennox Shuman, particularly in relation to an interview with Stabroek News.

The Ministry’s attack on the NTC and the outspoken Shuman will be seen as a further attempt to clamp down on dissenting views.

In an article in the April 9th edition of Stabroek News, Shuman was reported as saying that the government had not made any progress on the crucial area of land titling and accused the ministry of interfering in the business of the NTC. He also said that the behaviour of the current government is similar to the previous one.
