AFC recalls Gaskin’s ‘outspokenness’ in message of condolence

See below the full statement issued:

The Alliance For Change (AFC) extends heartfelt condolences to family and relatives of Ramon  Gaskin who passed away earlier today.

The news of his passing has caused the AFC to reflect on recent history and the power of a single individual to hold leaders accountable.

Gaskin, or Rambo as he was affectionately called, was known for his outspokenness and strong opinions. He was an activist and protagonist unlike any other.

He fearlessly challenged the Government and Opposition alike to do better to improve the lives of Guyanese. Not afraid to speak or write what was on his mind, Gaskin became a household name as an advocate for ordinary working-class Guyanese. He will be missed.
