Worried City Chamber says urgent need to address crime

Following the armed attack by robbers at the Ramada Princess Hotel, the Georgetown Chamber of Commerce and Industry (GCCI) yesterday voiced its concern at the current crime rate, while noting that it needs to be urgently addressed ahead of next month’s jubilee celebrations.

In a statement, the GCCI said it was “extremely concerned” about the apparent escalation in armed robberies and violent crimes being perpetrated on members of the business community and the country as a whole.

As a result, the Chamber stressed to the government and the disciplined forces that the need to address the issue is even more urgent
