Guyana needs to systematically address the need for reconciliation and building trust in the face of the continued breakdown of it social fabric, according to Guyana’s commissioner on the Roman Catholic Church’s Integral Human Development Commission for the Caribbean Lawrence Lachmansingh.

“I know the government and opposition are thinking about these things. It all comes back to this Catholic thing about reconciliation and trust and who we are. We are just too small to not come together. As the saying goes, ‘one hand can’t clap roti,’” Latchmansingh told Sunday Stabroek in an interview.
