True, President Granger is a public figure but even public figures have a right to privacy. Cheddi & Janet Jagan were renowned public figures. They travelled abroad on official party assignments but they undertook private visits too. Janet used to fly to the ole USA to see her mother, for example. After Dr Jagan died his daughter Nadira wrote about his persistence to overcome whatever problems he encountered. Example: one time he & Mrs Jagan were vacationing in Tobago. He rented a motor boat and took her for a spin in the sea. He was operating the motor. Far from land the propeller stopped suddenly. Not being a mechanic, with the boat floating aimlessly on choppy water in the hot sun, Cheddi tried & tried for a long time until he got the propeller up and running. Nadira wanted to show courage in the face of adversity. I got her point but was surprised to read that her parents took vacations together. They deserved their privacy.

Final example: Viola Burnham was Guyana's First Lady. From reliable sources I learned that she used to fly on the President's Beechcraft plane to Trinidad to do her shopping. She had a right to privacy.
