says gov’t trying to hide incompetence and corruption
Two days after the government vowed to continue denying Kaieteur News a radio license, Trinidad Express, a leading newspaper in Trinidad and Tobago, has condemned the issuance of radio licenses under former President Bharrat Jagdeo.
“…the PPP has expanded the media in Guyana solely for the purpose, it seems, of increasing the outlets for pro-party, pro-government propaganda,†the Express said in its editorial yesterday.
The newspaper noted that this does nothing but undermine media here.
On Thursday, the government’s Chief Spokesman Dr Roger Luncheon dismissed complaints by Kaieteur News about being denied a licence and went as far as saying that this position would not change.
