Political commentator GHK Lall says the High Court’s decision ordering the restoration of state funding to the International Decade for People of African Descent Assembly–Guyana (IDPADA-G) amounts to a judicial repudiation of the People’s Progressive Party/Civic (PPP/C0 government’s four-year handling of the organisation, arguing that the administration pursued a campaign that was “morally,” “ethically” and “politically” wrong.

In his latest column, “IDPADA-G: the arc of the moral universe,” Lall contends that the government’s decision to withhold IDPADA-G’s annual subvention was driven by political considerations rather than legitimate concerns over governance.

“Something always struck me as wrong with how the PPP Govt dealt with the subvention for the folks at the International Decade for the People of African Descent Assembly-Guyana (IDPADA-G),” Lall wrote. “Morally wrong. Ethically wrong. Politically wrong.”
