Strengthening justice system

Minister Basil Williams addresses trainees

Minister of Legal Affairs and Attorney General, Basil Williams, and Canadian Chargé d’Affaires, Sharmini Poulin, visited the Police Training Centre on Friday afternoon to meet with police, police prosecutors and state prosecutors who are being trained under the Canadian funded project “Strengthening the Guyanese Criminal Justice System”, a release from his ministry said.

The Government of Canada, through its Anti-Crime Capacity Building Program, is providing funds to Canadian NGO, the Justice Education Society (JES), to implement this project over two years to the tune of CAD $750,000 ($106 million). This is Canada’s largest bilateral project with Guyana.
