Do ordinary gangs have the necessary resources?

Dear Editor,

The government is talking about criminal gangs and insurgent elements. But where are all these sophisticated weapons coming from, they do not cost a penny. Do ordinary gangs have the resources to finance such weapons? What is happening is bigger than gangs. Guyana has a drug problem, it is getting out of hand, and it has come to bite all and sundry who had turned a blind eye to it, the very lives of innocent people are threatened.

I call on the government to tackle the drug problem head on and no one should be above the law. To the family, relatives and friends of these victims I weep with you.

Yours faithfully,
