iNews wishes to refute the claim by Local Government Minister Ganga Persaud that this news agency is being supported by the State.
Mr. Persaud clearly does not have his facts straight and his judgment is far from the truth.
iNews would also like to enlighten the Honourable Minister that while he may have the audacity to dictate to the state media, the same authority is unavailable to him to exercise over this news entity.
The Minister is further advised that it would be in his best interest if such a fallacy is never repeated.
iNews does not write its articles in favour of any government entity, but only in favour of the truth and the truth remains that the Minister did indeed dodge the question on his absence at the National Assembly approximately two weeks ago when he was slated to present the Local Government Bills.
