Embattled Press Officer accompanies President on UN trip

 
As President David Granger meets with world leaders for wide-ranging discussions, his Public Information and Press Services Officer Lloyda Nicholas-Garrett, who was recently implicated in alleged racial utterances on social media, has accompanied him to the United Nations General Assembly, in New York.
 
On Monday, reports surfaced that Garret was allowed to be part of the press team that accompanied the President on the foreign trip.

When contacted, Head of the President’s Press and Publicity Unit, Mark Archer confirmed that Nicholas-Garrett was in New York. β€œYes, she is” was his pointed response when questioned by Guyana Times on Monday on whether or not the embattled officer was indeed part of the team that accompanied the President.

Last week, snapshots surfaced on Facebook of a conversation Nicholas-Garrett purportedly had in a chatroom which contained racial slurs and derogatory remarks about colleagues at the Ministry of the Presidency (MotP). The Press Services Officer’s official visit to the UN General Assembly this week has occurred despite a reported investigation being launched into her alleged derogatory statements.

Did Granger made the right call to bring her on the trip in light of her racial controversy?

The man think he needs to be accompanied by some young hot babe...eye candy???

Do you think Granger is ignoring calls to fire Nicholas-Garrett in the same manner in which the PNC (when in opposition) called for the firing of Rohee, Berry-Berry, and Nandlall?

Let me first say that the use of information stolen from someone private conversation is not acceptable.

However, that these are the real thoughts of this young woman ( no denial no apology) means Granger as usual do not give a damn what kind of bigot he incubates in his regime. She is a poke in the eye to Indians and I hope they remember in 2020. Either this man is a change agent or we kick this fellow back to the sidelines for another election cycle if he is the selection for the APNU for the next term.

Unfortunately, any hope that the PPP (or any party) will retake office in 2020, is just wishful thinking. The Americans would never let that happen with their interest at stake, which means the electorate will once again be denied their rights to a free and fair election.

You think if Donald don't care for black people, he will back a black dominated administration? The man is rich, he doesn't care for the oil money. Who knows, Tillerson might not make it all the way to the end of the administration.
