There have been many justified calls from opinion makers for the PNC to apologise for its share in the deformation of the State. In any case the PNC head of State of many years ago is being X rayed at this moment before a world wide audience

Many Guyanese with a focus on Today, want to know why the present government is not being investigated. Continue reading →
