The Party offers an unequivocal apology to the mother of Shaquelle Grant for this unfounded assertion and for any hurt and harm caused.

Wonderful!  PPP

We're all humans and humans make mistake and learn from them. It takes a great man or woman to say I am sorry. That apology resonate the true meaning of the PPP that cares.  

Crocodile tears. They milked all of the publicity from it by conveniently insinuating Granger was in his presence hence his co mingling with criminals. Meanwhile they deliberately omitted the fact the kid was also seen with Rohee. The apology is on account of that picture rather than on account of the fact they simply pilloried a kid cruelly for a few political coins. His mother suffered the double insult of having her child killed by mistake and a political party using him in their propaganda scheme to label black kids as criminals.

Dead: Shaquille Grant.

[www.inewsguyana.com] – The ruling People’s Progressive Party (PPP) says it has noted the call for an apology by the mother of Shaquelle Grant concerning a statement issued in the name of the Party in which Grant was wrongly deemed a “criminal”.

A clarification was sought at the Party’s weekly press conference on Monday last where the General Secretary had promised to ascertain the veracity of the contents of the Statement.

“The Party has since done so and has determined that there is no justification in describing Shaquelle Grant as a criminal,” a statement noted.

It further stated that in the circumstances, the Party offers an unequivocal apology to the mother of Shaquelle Grant for this unfounded assertion and for any hurt and harm caused.

Earlier today, Shonnette Adams, the mother of the late Grant demanded an apology from PPP General Secretary Clement Rohee.

Seventeen – year – old Grant was killed approximately two years ago by police ranks in Agricola Village, East Coast Demerara, after the police swooped down on him and some friends that were sitting in a yard.

Three ranks were later charged with Grant’s murder; however, two of the men have been on the run since the charges filed, while one has been committed to stand a high court trial.

His mother, while demanding an apology, made it clear to members of the media that her son was never convicted of any crime nor was he ever wanted by the police for any offence.

This is a step in the right direction.

The police must not use force as a first resort. We see that young blacks are being murdered in the USA and some cases in Guyana by the police.

This must come to an end !

How about financial compensation for the family ?

shut you rass you  is a wolf in sheep clothing

I see that you now compare the USA with its history of bigotry towards blacks with Guyana.

Note that the same PPP through its organ the Chronicle demonized Afro Guyanese as criminals and has NEVER apologized.

Any way maybe it is progress when YOU finally admit that the position of blacks in PPP Guyana is akin to their position in the USA with its history of bigotry towards blacks.

the blacks in guyana have to fight for their rights like the american blacks
