Security sector worse off – Rohee

Declaring that the security sector is “worse off,” PPP/C MP Clement Rohee yesterday called on Minister of Public Security Khemraj Ramjattan to say whether he is losing the war on crime.

Addressing the National Assembly during the budget debate, Rohee said there has been a reduction in the public security objectives in the sector from three in 2015 to two in 2016 and to just one in 2017, and this reflects a total lack of vision.

He questioned whether the Guyana Police Force was capable of delivering, “when the infighting and backstabbing is taking place at the highest level of the organisation and in the public. What example are they setting? How can they guarantee good order in society?”
