Granger/Ramotar meeting ends in deadlock

Georgetown: Following the much publicized meeting between Brigadier (rtd) David Granger of A Partnership for National Unity and newly commissioned Head of State Donald Ramotar there is still no consensus on the way forward. At least this is according to Granger, who revealed that the meeting held on Monday at the Office of the President and was convened by Ramotar, was to discuss Governance. Granger said that APNU wanted to discuss with the newly installed President some of the current issues facing persons that voted for the coalition and “things like the misuse of state media particularly the National Media and National Communication Network (NCN) and the fact that residents of Linden were very bitter about that.”

He said that APNU was also interested in dealing with the issue of victimization pointing to the fact that some persons employed in the public sector during the campaign wore the colour green and had been dismissed from their place of employ as a result.

In essence Granger said that APNU was interested in dealing with how the Ramotar administration plans to address the issue of a long term solution to victimization of the ordinary citizenry.
