Several civil society groups yesterday expressed discomfort with what they see as the government’s increasing lack of accountability especially as it pertains to the Natural Resource Fund (NRF) and the extractive sectors.
“There is no longer any official institution or agency to which anyone – including those sympathetic to the administration – can turn for an objective assessment of major issues affecting the future of Guyana”, they said in a press release. Further, entities such as Parliamentary Sectoral Committees, Regional governments, and Neighbourhood Democratic Councils are not functioning as they should, leaving Guyanese in the dark about who to trust and what to believe.
