The International Decade for People of African Descent Assembly-Guyana (IDPADA-G), while acknowledging that the government is not mandated to provide it with funding, said that they are considering legal action to force the reinstatement of its $8 million monthly subvention for the remainder of 2022.

Chair of IDPADA-G’s Coordinating Council, Vincent Alexander relayed the consideration at a press conference yesterday. He said that the government has been withholding its parliamentary appropriated subvention since September which has crippled critical programmes.
