The Ministry of the Presidency has condemned attorney and activist Christopher Ram’s recent criticism of President David Granger, while accusing him of seeking to create ethnic divisions and unrest.
Ram, in a strongly-worded letter published in the February 23rd edition of this newspaper, sought to make his case for why he would not vote for Granger at Monday’s general and regional elections, despite having supported him and the APNU+AFC coalition at the 2015 polls.
Ram accused the president of having contempt for the constitution and also of being “divisive”, including an “insensitivity to ethnic concerns” and leaning towards “narrow ethno-centric policies.”
