Article 13, a newly-formed Guyanese civil society organisation, yesterday announced plans to push for better governance, accountability and the inclusion of the citizenry in making decisions for national development.
“Our group, Article 13 has been created to ensure that the people of Guyana are represented and heard at all levels in debating Guyana’s development and in achieving a thriving and sustainable society. Our objectives include advocating for good, transparent, accountable, and responsible Governance as well as identifying and proposing solutions which advance our country and our people,” the group said in a statement ahead of its launch last evening on Christopher Ram’s Plain Talk television programme.
“We invite and pledge to work with all Guyanese to the securing of inclusionary democracy, good governance and a better future for all. In this regard, we look forward to working in collaboration with the private and public sectors, the Government, the Opposition, the Legislature, Guyanese at home and abroad and regional and international groups to advocate, educate, promote and lead the quest for transparency, good governance and inclusionary Government in Guyana,” it added.
