During his weekly press conference on Thursday, Opposition Leader Bharrat Jagdeo accused the Guyana National Broadcasting Authority (GNBA) of attacking Freedom Radio and other radio stations perceived to be sympathetic towards the People’s Progressive Party/Civic (PPP/C) but this has been denied by the GNBA.
“GNBA has been writing Freedom Radio and other stations where we place our ads…We’ve prepared a file [of letters] we’re sending it to every international organisation. We are briefing the international community about GNBA,” Jagdeo declared.
Claiming that the authority has sought to sanction the media houses for referring to President David Granger as ‘low energy’ and “a charlatan”, Jagdeo said that he believes the intention is to “suspend the stations or shut them down as we get close to elections”.
