Mashramani Celebrations Coordinator Lennox Canterbury has no decency
This year, Mashramani is themed ‘Let’s unite and celebrate in 2008.’Alluding to laments in wake of the Lusignan and Bartica massacres, Canterbury said Mash Secretariat officials met with stakeholders, participants and other groups who have invested in the revelry and, from those meetings, they concluded they will go ahead with the programme.
WHAT’S MORE IMPORTANT? MASHRAMANI & CARIFESTA OR CITIZENS LIVING & BREATHING?
“The decisions were not made without considerations…it is not that we are insensitive to what is happening…we have given people a choice,” he stated.Canterbury said another factor considered was that Guyana will be hosting CARIFESTA X and Mash, as a precursor to it, would attract people and can affect their view of the regional festival.
