TIMES INT'L

The People’s National Congress Reform (PNCR) held its second General Council meeting for 2013 on Saturday at the party’s headquarters, Congress Place, Sophia, with its leader David Granger telling members that now is the time to rebuild, reorganise, and recruit. The opening session was chaired by party chairman Basil Williams during which General Secretary Oscar Clarke presented a report on the work of the party and the party’s secretariat for the period under consideration.
The oldest member of the party, Cecil Cunha (99 years old) who was present, was recognised by the council, a release from the PNCR said.
The general secretary also reported to the council that three new members had been appointed to the Central Executive Committee of the PNCR. They are Region 10 Chairman Sharma Solomon, Region Seven Chairman Gordon Bradford and Region One councillor Richard Allen.
The main address of the opening session was presented by Granger, who affirmed that the PNCR remains committed to the A Partnership for National Unity (APNU) coalition.
He said that the PNCR was a mass-based party and not an elitist party, and, therefore, had a responsibility to the people of Guyana to provide leadership inside and outside of the National Assembly.
According to the release, in a stirring appeal to the General Council, Granger said the PNCR had a service responsibility to all of its constituents.
He outlined a plan of action for consideration by the council’s plenary.
Granger called on the party to rebuild, recruit, and reorganise. He said that party offices in every region must be developed into multi-purpose centres and used as a base for Members of Parliament and regional councillors to meet with their constituents and provide services for the communities.
He charged party leaders, especially Members of Parliament to give leadership and to be seen working with and for their constituents and constituencies.
The plenary session of the General Council was expected to discuss the leader’s plan of action, the general secretary’s report, and the PNCRs plans and preparations for local government elections.
