General Secretary of the People’s Progressive Party (PPP) Bharrat Jagdeo yesterday slammed the National COVID-19 Task Force for a lack of leadership and for not providing guidance on the reopening of the economy.

In a video statement released yesterday, Jagdeo stressed that he was concerned about the operation of the task force which has been established to manage Guyana’s response to the novel coronavirus disease.

The task force is headed by de facto Prime Minister Moses Nagamootoo and its Chief Executive Officer is Joseph Harmon.
