- rival companies call for good sense to prevail in joint statement
THE Guyana Telephone and Telegraph Company Limited (GT&T) and DIGICEL, the two major telecommunications operators in Guyana, yesterday jointly condemned last Saturday’s horrendous acts in the Lusignan village and called for good sense to prevail.

The companies, which compete for the local cellular market, believe it is a time for every section of Guyanese society to come together to bring healing.

It is a time for strong leadership and for us all to provide support in the face of the present crisis.

GT&T and DIGICEL said their joint statement is a demonstration by the two companies that a matter of such great national importance must supersede the normal day to day element of competition.

“This is the time, we believe, when all Guyanese must stand up as one, fully recognizing the threat being posed to the nation’s stability,” the companies said.

“We invite everyone to share our commitment to bring people together and to link communities through active communication.

The companies are ready to assist in any way we can to facilitate the maintenance of peace across Guyana,” the two companies said in the statement.
