Police Commissioner to go on leave

A release from GINA said that President Donald Ramotar had indicated this in an interview with NCN Editor-in-Chief Michael Gordon at the Office of the President yesterday.

The President was reported as saying that Greene had requested leave to which he had acceded, and that Assistant Commissioner Leroy Brummell would be discharging the responsibilities of Commissioner pending the outcome of the investigation.

The head of state was also reported as saying that the Ministry of Home Affairs had been asked to seek external assistance to carry out the investigations in order to expedite them, and so that justice can be done.
