A DEA office here will help Guyanese to breathe a sigh of relief

Dear Editor,

When I read your news account, “New proposal for DEA office here,” (March 27), I got the impression that the Guyana Government was the one seriously pursuing the US DEA to set up an office in Georgetown, whereas I previously thought it was the other way around.
According to SN, the first request from our government came via former Home Affairs Minister, Feroze Mohammed in 1995, and then from the Defence Board in 1999 and again in 2005. After that the problem appeared to be related to finding a suitable building to house the DEA.
