Granger declines meeting with Ali, former presidents

Irfaan Ali

The People’s National Congress Reform (PNCR) yesterday announced that former President David Granger would not be accepting President Irfaan Ali’s invitation to a “working lunch” on Tuesday at State House with three other former presidents as the function appeared to be aimless.

According to a press statement from the party, Granger has responded to the invitation with a recommendation that the meeting be deferred until several “important issues [are] satisfactorily settled.”

According to the PNCR, Granger “felt that it would be a blunder to ignore the legitimate concerns of a significant section of the population and the aspirations of the majority of our people, especially those enduring the privations of the pandemic.”
