Georgetown : A Partnership For National Unity (APNU) Presidential Candidate, Brigadier (ret’d) David Granger and Campaign Director, Mr. Joseph Harmon met with the Rastafarian Council to determine if there was opportunity for them to work together to ensure that the growing Rastafarian community would have their issues and concerns properly represented and addressed by an APNU Government. The community was represented by a group of nine which included Ras Leon Saul, Ras Simion, Ras Benjie, Ras Nine, Sister Cole, and Ras Iron.
Council members expressed concerns that no one in the Government was currently representing the interests of their community. Specifically interests which include the violation of human rights in Guyana, freedom of worship, youth unemployment, police brutality, and crime, domestic violence and working conditions for single women; especially those in the security service industry who work during the night, and have no choice but to leave their children at home alone, many who fall prey to child molesters, early pregnancy, and other forms of abuse.
