Hailed for the integral role he played in the formation of Guyana’s Private Sector Commission (PSC), David Yankana was yesterday remembered by his former colleagues and friends following the announcement of his death on Wednesday at his home in the United States.  He was 91.

Yankana had for many years headed the employers association, the Consultative Association of Guyanese Industry.

Yankana had left Guyana years ago after retiring from active private sector life. His passing saw tributes pour in from former President Donald Ramotar and PSC executives.
