The Irfaan Ali government has been in office for nearly six months during which time there has been no post-cabinet press briefing and inconsistent engagements with media by Ali and his ministers.
According to the President of the Guyana Press Association, Nazima Raghubir this is an unacceptable continuation of a precedent set by the previous administration
“The government t is using COVID-19 to avoid press engagements and they are using a precedent set by the Granger administration to respond or grant interviews to select media houses. They are also engaging with social media commentators rather than media houses just as Mr Granger and others preferred to speak to some social media commentators,” Raghubir told Sunday Stabroek in an invited comment last evening.
