[www.inewsguyana.com] – The Office of the Prime Minister has taken control of the State owned Guyana Chronicle Newspaper, following the brazen front page headline in the Tuesday, August 25 edition.

iNews has been reliably informed that General Manager of the Guyana Chronicle, Michael Gordon has been instructed to ensure that all headlines are approved by Director of Public Information in the Office of the Prime Minister, Imran Khan, before the paper goes to press.

It should be noted that this decision by the APNU+AFC government goes against the very stance taken by the Party during its time in the Opposition, where it had heavily criticized the then PPP administration for controlling what the State media produces and publishes on a daily basis.

iNews also understands that this very procedure was done under the People’ National Congress (PNC) when the Minister of Information would dictate what goes in the paper.

Prime Minister, Moses Nagamootoo, who is also responsible for the Information sector, had vowed that he would not be a “minister of interference”, noting that he respects press freedom.

The situation took a turn for the worse on Tuesday, when Nagamootoo expressed “disappointment” with the headline carried by the newspaper and even sought to reprimand the journalist, Derwayne Wills, at Parliament Building.

The article headlined: “Gov’t blunders on Budget Estimates … violates laws assented to by President Granger” made it pass the Editor and onto the front page of the Guyana Chronicle and has been making it rounds on social media.

While the Prime Minister is claiming that he does not interfere with the editorial department of the newspaper, his Director of Public Information was observed inside the newsroom on Tuesday evening, August 26, passing instructions.

iNews made contact with Khan, who promised to return a call to the news entity, but up to the time of publishing that was not done.

The beauty of all of this is you do not have a repertoire of words beyond the usual two line rants that are interchangeable from post to post. Having seen the same over thousands of posts the begin to register less and less.

PNC cum AFC fail to recognize the basis issues for public news stations / offices and those that are focused exclusively for a government to publish their views, news and opinions.

FM

The more things change,mother more they stay the same. The coalition promised a new approach and now this is what we get if this is true. This is censorship and a step towards a dictatorship if not revoked. Political prostitutes.

As it turns out, there is no truth to this story. Coounscie still spreading PPP lies.

Story Updated at 4:17 pm: Khan subsequently made contact with iNews and denied that he has to “approve” the headlines; however he confirmed that he did indeed met with the Newspaper’s General Manager on Wednesday, August 26, where “other” issues were discussed. Khan also denied that he was present at the Guyana Chronicle Newspaper on Tuesday night.

Something is not right here. If the PPP/C is correct in their observations, they must be recognised and given assurances of not repeating such errors. At the same time the Press should not be sensational and appear to be biased. The headline could have been less antagonistic. However, the Hon PM should not decree or subject the DC have their 'headlines' vetted prior to printing. This does not augur well for the Freedom of the Press which the Hon PM had advocated for when in the Opposition. This matter can be handled differently. Some tolerance of disappointed PPP supporters holding some important positions is needed. Do not squander the gains of the coalition government. There is a golden opportunity to right the wrongs and corruptions of the previous administration. Much is expected. Do not disappoint the Guyanese people. Much better is expected. Congrats to the PM for a wonderful closing on the Budget Speech.

Kakamootoo is only doing what he is told.  He was trying to find jobs for his fellow AFC indo_Guyanese friends, but was told that is not his job.

iNews has been reliably informed that General Manager of the Guyana Chronicle, Michael Gordon has been instructed to ensure that all headlines are approved by Director of Public Information in the Office of the Prime Minister, Imran Khan, before the paper goes to press.

It should be noted that this decision by the APNU+AFC government goes against the very stance taken by the Party during its time in the Opposition, where it had heavily criticized the then PPP administration for controlling what the State media produces and publishes on a daily basis.

iNews also understands that this very procedure was done under the People’ National Congress (PNC) when the Minister of Information would dictate what goes in the paper.

Prime Minister, Moses Nagamootoo, who is also responsible for the Information sector, had vowed that he would not be a “minister of interference”, noting that he respects press freedom.

The situation took a turn for the worse on Tuesday, when Nagamootoo expressed “disappointment” with the headline carried by the newspaper and even sought to reprimand the journalist, Derwayne Wills, at Parliament Building.

The article headlined: “Gov’t blunders on Budget Estimates … violates laws assented to by President Granger” made it pass the Editor and onto the front page of the Guyana Chronicle and has been making it rounds on social media.

While the Prime Minister is claiming that he does not interfere with the editorial department of the newspaper, his Director of Public Information was observed inside the newsroom on Tuesday evening, August 26, passing instructions.

iNews made contact with Khan, who promised to return a call to the news entity, but up to the time of publishing that was not done.

$ 40 Million has been spent on this PNC fat Pig Dictator in less than 100 days. More to come, PNC style.
