US calls on Guyana to revoke radio frequencies

US calls on Guyana to revoke radio frequencies issued to people connected to ruling party

GEORGETOWN, Guyana (AP) -- The U.S. government has joined a growing list of international agencies calling on authorities in Guyana to immediately revoke radio frequencies issued to those closely connected to the South American country's ruling party.

Last month, legislators forced Prime Minister Samuel Hinds to release the list of those allocated frequencies in 2011. It showed the governing party gave itself five frequencies, five to the sister of Cabinet Minister Robert Persaud and five to the best friend of former President Bharrat Jagdeo.

U.S. Ambassador Brent Hardt said Guyana should "promptly review and approve" pending requests from those qualified to operate radio stations. Some requests date back to the late 1990s.

Hardt made the request late Thursday and joined others who have voiced similar concerns, including the Vienna-based International Press Institute.

Yes indeed, hence unfortunately his heart attack. He should have listened to his own advice. 

I never heard of Nuff's heart attack, really? Banna. is nuff people I hear with these attacks, is like it going around.

One of my relatives was going down his stairs to call an ambulance for his wife when he got an attack and down the stairs he went.

They both went for a ride in the same ambulance.

Dangerous situation too, he was on his boat on sea all alone when he got the heart attack, a few years back, fortunately he lived and got a chance to change his bad habits.   One of my friends, 44yrs old got a heart attack too but not as lucky as nuff, and died immediately.
