The Board of the Guyana Manufacturing and Services Association (GMSA) is divided on the apology sent by the organisation to President David Granger over the behaviour of the opposition PPP members who disrupted his speech at its luncheon last Thursday.
“It is not the official position of the Board. It was just put out there by a few members,” one member of the 14-member board told Sunday Stabroek, while requesting anonymity. It was also noted that not all board members were consulted on the letter.
When contacted, Clinton Williams, President of the GMSA, said that while it is true that not all of the members were consulted, some members approached him on issuing a formal apology and he felt the situation warranted such a reply. Williams said he stood by the decision and would be ready to do the same again in the circumstances. Other members who disagreed but did not want to be named complained bitterly over the decision.
