Georgetown : Leader of the People’s National Congress Reform, Brigadier David Granger has encouraged Party members in the Mahaica-Berbice Region to strengthen local democracy in order to improve their livelihood. This was during his visit to the region yesterday where he held a meeting with residents and Party members.
Brigadier Granger told villagers gathered in Calcutta that part of the solution to some of their problems lay in intensifying their participation in the neighbourhood democratic councils. These, unfortunately, were now being dismantled by the People’s Progressive Party/Civic administration. He said that the Party had to be ready to fortify grass-roots democracy by playing a greater role in local government nationwide. “All politics is local,” he said, emphasising that may of the matters villagers raised had to be resolved within the region itself.
The PNCR Leader iterated the Party’s absolute commitment to ensuring equality for all and protecting citizens’ fundamental rights, calling to mind the ongoing brutish treatment of Lindeners at the hands of the PPP/C Administration and the Police Force. He promised to work towards improving the Party’s relations with trade unions and promoting inclusionary democracy in A Partnership for National Unity.
