Charles Ramson Snr

The Office of  Opposition Leader, Aubrey Norton says that Commissioner of Information Charles Ramson Snr is not appropriate for the role as he has not acted on requests for information.

In a release yesterday, Norton’s office said that on 13th February it dispatched to Ramson Snr, a “Request for Access to Official documents”, under the Access to Information Act 2011, requesting the radio and television programme logs of the National Communications Network (NCN) on its coverage of this year’s budget debate in the National Assembly.

 The request was submitted to assess whether NCN fulfilled its obligation to the people of Guyana to cover the views and activities of the Parliamentary Opposition in a fair, equitable, and objective manner.
