- Granger, Nagamootoo claim ignorance of breaking faith
The National Toshaos’ Council (NTC) conference of 2018 opened on Monday with incumbent Chairman Joel Fredericks blasting Government for a number of unfulfilled promises.
According to Fredericks, the indigenous peoples of Guyana were promised a number of things; such as the revision of the Amerindian Act of 2006; Constitutional reform and land to build a Secretariat for the NTC. The Chairman added that for three years the NTC listened carefully to every indigenous people’s policy Government announced. However, Fredericks noted that in those three years, the trust has been eroded by the Government’s failure to effectively act on these promises.
