Violence must not cloud the dignity of our collective pursuit of truth – GMSA 

See full statement from the Guyana Manufacturing and Services Association:

The Guyana Manufacturing and Services Association (GMSA) extends its deepest condolences and heartfelt sympathy to the family of Adrianna Younge. We fully support the calls from citizens across the nation demanding transparency following the tragic circumstances surrounding her death. As an organisation we are firmly rooted in the values of community, fairness, and the protection of our nation’s most vulnerable.

The GMSA acknowledges and supports the right of all citizens to express their grief and demand justice. At the same time, we strongly encourage that all actions taken be peaceful and respectful of the rule of law. Violence or destruction must not cloud the dignity of our collective pursuit of truth as this does not have place in the modern Guyana we are trying to build.

We note and are reassured by His Excellency President Irfaan Ali’s commitment that no stone will be left unturned in the investigation of this matter. We encourage the appropriate authorities to carry out this mandate expeditiously, impartially and transparently.

We call on all sectors of society to uphold these principles as we collectively seek answers and honour Adrianna’s memory.
