The Ethnic Relations Commission, (ERC), undeniably supports an articulate and free press which contributes to the good tenets of a democratic nation.

Mr. Lenox Shuman on 25 June, 2020 during a live Facebook stream of the Kaieteur Radio show made damning imputations of corruption against the Chairman of the Ethnic Relations Commission and by extension, the Commission in its entirety.

Any reasonable person hearing the words uttered by Shuman would come to the conclusion that his proclamations have brought the integrity of the Commission into disrepute.

The Commission assures the public that it takes pride in operating in the interest of what is just and fair and it is a reflection of safeguarding the concerns of all Guyanese.

Decisions made on behalf of the Commission are done collectively by the members of this panel and are not at the discretion of the Chairman of the Commission.
