Georgetown : Chairman of A Partnership for National Unity (APNU), Brigadier David Granger has begun a series of listening engagements with young professional and academics. The first engagement was held yesterday, 12th February at the Office of the Leader of the Opposition, Hadfield Street, Georgetown.
Twenty-four young professionals between ages twenty to thirty-five, met with Brigadier Granger and shared their views and concerns with him. In a frank and lively exchange many critical aspects of governance, human rights, corruption and the inequitable distribution of wealth were discussed and the APNU leader was informed of the changes that young people were expecting from an APNU administration.
Brigadier Granger answered questions and in brief remarks shared his vision of a new Guyana devoid of the ‘winner take all’ style of politics and the establishment of a Government of National Unity where all sections of society would have a seat at the table. He urged those gathered to get involved in the political process at the local and national and advised that the local government system was a good place for young people to serve their apprenticeship before seeking higher office.
The multi-discipline audience included a Physician, Attorneys, Engineers, IT specialist, Teachers, Journalists/Writers, among others.
The APNU leader plans to continue his listening engagements with young professionals as part of the Partnership’s preparation for assuming the reins of Government after the 11th May General and Regional Elections.
