President Irfaan Ali on Friday evening at an Emancipation celebration at State House urged those gathered to value their freedom which he said means not abusing it.
Backed by the ‘drums of freedom’, Ali stated, “Valuing your freedom is not abusing your freedom, whether it is press freedom, whether it is political freedom, whether it is sports freedom, there is a delicate balance, because when you overstep the boundary of freedom and abuse the freedom you have then you are not paying homage to that freedom, then you are not attributing the true values that that freedom comes with.”
Several West Indies cricketers including Captain Rovman Powell were present for the celebration as the team is set to take on India today at the Guyana National Stadium. Also present at the function was legendary Guyanese and West Indies cricketer Carl Hooper.
