Alliance For Change Chairman and Presidential nominee Khemraj Ramjattan is due to head a party delegation to a meeting with a US State Department official in Washington to mobilize pressure on the Guyana government over alleged malpractices in a number of sectors. The AFC said in a news release yesterday that Ramjattan and senior leaders from the NY/NJ Chapter will be meeting with officials from Amnesty International and the Department of State. The AFC chairman will also be meeting with the US Mission at the United Nations in New York.

In Washington, the release stated, Ramjattan is to give the AFC’s perspectives on a number of important issues affecting the country, particularly the allegedly high levels of corruption within government, ministers breaching the financial regulations and misleading the National Assembly about the disbursement of taxpayers’ monies, incidences of police brutality and human rights violations.

According to the release, he will be “seeking advice about what assistance could be offered to curb these unwholesome negative developments, and what persuasion and pressure could be brought to get the Guyana Government to remedy them forthwith, if any.”

Meanwhile, as part of the party’s outreach regionally and internationally, Ramjattan will be in the USA this week to meet with the AFC’s New York/New Jersey Chapter and to share perspectives on recent national developments with members and supporters there.

Ramjattan is also due to attend a private family event besides having several important meetings in Washington and New York.

He was recently in Saint Lucia where there was a successful launch of the Saint Lucia AFC Chapter which is now headed by prominent Guyanese attorney-at-law Horace Fraser, the release added.

Mission Statement

The Mark Benschop Foundation was officially launched in March 2008 by its founder and chairman Mark Benschop and other concerned Guyanese and well wishers in the United States of America. What started as a small operation geared toward helping those in need has grown so large that they were forced to move their offices to a whole building in East Street where the vast amount of people responding to their generosity could be accommodated.
