The Guyana Ministry of Home Affairs condemns and challenges a recent media report that makes claims about conditions at the Juvenile Holding Centre, including statements attributed to Member of Parliament Coretta McDonald. The ministry says the broadcast contains multiple inaccuracies and that corrections are needed in the public interest.
In separate reporting, the ministry calls for an immediate retraction and correction of the statements, and requests a public apology from McDonald. It also references the specific media item, describing it as unverified information, while indicating that the claims have not been substantiated as presented. The outlets agree on the ministry’s stance that the public should not rely on the reported assertions about the facility.
Across the sources, the emphasis differs slightly: INews Guyana focuses on the ministry’s condemnation of unverified information and its need to correct inaccuracies, while the Guyana Chronicle highlights the demand for retraction, correction, and a public apology.
