With the Caribbean Festival of Arts (CARIFESTA) less than a month away, officials attached to the Department of Culture, Youth and Sport are reluctant to identify the names of the “100 Guyanese” who were selected to represent the country at the event in Trinidad and Tobago.
“I don’t know the names of the persons that will be going but 100 persons were selected to go to CARIFESTA,” local coordinator for CARIFESTA XIV Andrew Tyndall said during an interview at his office at the Department of Social Cohesion, Culture, Youth And Sport yesterday, while co-coordinator, Director of Culture Tamika Boatswain, said via telephone that the disclosure of the names “is up to the Ministry.”
Meanwhile, the Communications Officer for the Department, Michelle Braithwaite, declined to comment, saying that she was not at liberty to disclose that information.
