The Guyana Press Association (GPA) yesterday upped its criticism of communications consultant Kit Nascimento and the government over the handling of a recent press conference by President Irfaan Ali which saw him speaking for more than an hour before answering one question from each media house.

Responding to recent criticisms of its position by Nascimento, the GPA hit back in a statement.

It said it had been watching for several months President Ali’s resort to public statements on social media, without question by journalists, and the weekly 60-minute monologue by the Attorney General and Minister of Legal Affairs, Anil Nandlall on social media.
