I am honoured to join you this evening on this auspicious occasion which I believe has as its core objective the reaffirmation and celebration of the vital role of the free Press in today’s world, Guyana being no exception.
I wish to extend a word of thanks the Guyana Press Association [GPA] for inviting me to participate in this event. I should also specially acknowledge your President, Ms Nazima Raghubir, who, ‘ominously for my male colleagues’, has done an outstanding job in this role and as the first elected female President of this prestigious Association.
