STATEMENT BY HIS EXCELLENCY EDWIN CARRINGTON, SECRETARY-GENERAL OF THE CARIBBEAN COMMUNITY (CARICOM) ON THE FATAL ACCIDENT INVOLVING MEDIA WORKERS IN GUYANA ON 18 OCTOBER 2008
(CARICOM Secretariat, Turkeyen, Greater Georgetown, Guyana) I note with great distress the untimely death of our young media practitioner and the varying degrees of injury suffered by others, while on assignment, as a result of the horrific accident on the Linden highway last Saturday evening.
Throughout the Caribbean Community and beyond, my officers and I work closely with the media on public information, education and development. Given that Guyana is the Headquarters of the Community; the home of the CARICOM Secretariat, my own interaction with the media in Guyana is considerable and regular. As a result this tragedy is extremely and personally painful.
On behalf of the Staff of the CARICOM Secretariat, I offer words of comfort and expressions of sympathy to the families and relatives of the deceased, and affirmations for a speedy recovery of the injured.
