Head of the GBBFF Keavon Bess told Guyana Chronicle that, “The ongoing financial and non-financial support of the Ministry of Culture Youth and Sport and the National Sports Commission must be highly applauded and commended.”
He also expressed gratitude to the GOA, adding, “The Support of the GOA is critical to the expected success of CAC 2024. CAC 2024 is made more possible with the GOA’s direct financial injection and other tangible support.”
