People’s Progressive Party (PPP) General Secretary, Clement Rohee yesterday said “military influence is determining key policy issues in the country” with President David Granger and other government officials being ex-soldiers.
According to Rohee, the president’s “right-hand man, (Minister of State) Joseph Harmon and a plethora within the Ministry of the Presidency are ex-soldiers.”
Rohee told a press conference at party headquarters that the perception of the public is that the military has taken on a major role in the APNU+AFC government while the previous government was seen as a civilian government with just a sprinkling of ex-soldiers who were not on policy-making bodies.
