Dr. Luncheon said the focus of Mr. Lall’s engagement would be “the information needs of the Administration, both from supporting the improvement policy where that is concerned”. He will also address access to information especially in the context of Legislation. “We have to deal with the likelihood that the lives of the State media, GINA, NCN, would continue to be probed, would continue to be negatively affected by the Parliamentary Opposition…formulating improvement and amending policies and then of course, acting on behalf of the Administration with an engagement with State media, to further the interest of the Administration in bringing to the public’s attention, matters that this Administration considers important and part and parcel of our obligation to keep the Guyanese people informed.”
Mr. Lall served as Political Advisor to the President with similar responsibilities under the late President Cheddi Jagan when the PPP/C first assumed office in 1992.
