New York Attorney General concerned at complaints of racism, discrimination here

Letitia James

New York Attorney General (AG) Letitia James on Sunday told a Guyanese diaspora forum in New York that she was concerned about reports of racism and discrimination in Guyana and will draw this to the attention of fellow attorneys-general and the Biden administration so that the matters could be addressed.

Saying that she was perturbed by the allegations made during a town hall-styled meeting, the Attorney General said she is joining her Democratic colleague, United States Congressman Hakeem Jeffries who earlier this year criticised the PPP/C government about racism and marginalisation of Afro-Guyanese.

The PPP/C government has accused its detractors of not making credible complaints or providing specifics.
