With the Government of Guyana indicating its willingness to revise the Amerindian Act of 2006, several Indigenous district representatives are calling on the government to examine their Consultation Proposal and are disappointed that community consultations have started without including said proposal.
In a joint release yesterday, the representatives of four districts, the Upper Mazaruni District Council (UMDC), the North Pakaraimas District Council (NPDC), the South Rupununi District Council (SRDC), and the Moruca District Council (MDC), applauded the Government of Guyana’s commitment to revise the Amerindian Act 2006 to bring it in line with its international human rights obligations.
