…says it is for GNBA Chairman to explain to the nation how far he is with the matter By: Kiana Wilburg ?Amidst mounting criticisms from various quarters, Prime Minister, Moses Nagamootoo clarified yesterdayPrime Minister Moses Nagamootoohis stance on the radio, television and cable licences which were granted during the Jagdeo regime.The First Vice President stated that he is all for the revocation of those licences. He emphasized that it is the position he held during the election campaign and it is the same today.Nagamootoo said that he has decided to clear the air on the matter because his comments at the commissioning of the teleport for the National Communications Network were “misinterpreted.”The Member of Parliament said, “My comments were misconstrued. If they were reported on in the manner in which it was meant then we would not have all these different statements against me.”Nagamootoo emphasized that his comments were in no way meant to signal to the nation that he is against the revocation of licences which were illegally awarded to certain individuals.He noted that it is not his responsibility or job to do so. He said that this rests with the Guyana National Broadcasting Authority (GNBA).“GNBA has to do their job and revoking licences is their issue. If I interfere,Authentic Jerseys Cheap, I would be accused of political interference. I know that the board has set up a subcommittee to look into this matter and it is chaired by Anthony Vieira.“He is knowledgeable in broadcasting and is capable and competent in this regard. But I cannot pronounce on the work of the board or the subcommittee on that matter. They would have to pronounce on that. They areGNBA Chairman,Cheap NFL Jerseys, Leonard Craigthe ones who must explain where they are.”He added, “You think if the board came to me tomorrow morning and showed me solid legal grounds for revoking the licences I would interfere??

But I did urge them to give out the new licences to those who already applied…“I did not instruct. I am concerned about how we are going to correct this.”On several occasions, the Chairman of the GNBA Board, Leonard Craig, has been questioned on this state of affairs.Craig had failed to give any clear answer on the revocation of unlawful licences.
