CONDOLENCE MESSAGE FROM H.E. EDWIN W. CARRINGTON, SECRETARY-GENERAL, CARIBBEAN COMMUNITY (CARICOM) ON THE DEATH OF MR. CECIL GRIFFITH, A.A., JOURNALIST

Feb 01, 2007

It is with deep regret that I have learnt of the passing of veteran Guyanese journalist, Mr. Cecil Griffith A.A.

As a journalist with the then Guyana Broadcasting Corporation (GBC), and later, the Voice of America, Mr. Griffith, in his heyday, was one of the tenacious regional journalists who covered the CARICOM ‘beat’. His relinquishing of the beat years ago left a void in the coverage of CARICOM issues, and his unmistakable dry wit and candour were noticeably absent, particularly at fora held at the Secretariat.

The Region has lost a stalwart in both print and broadcast journalism.

On behalf of the staff of the CARICOM Secretariat, and on my own behalf, I wish to extend my heartfelt condolences to his relatives.
