On Friday, Minister of State Joseph Harmon took time to address the National Assembly on the contents of a newspaper article on bullet proof vehicles which he labelled “erroneous” and “mischievous.”
The article which appeared in the Friday edition of the Guyana Times was headlined “$100 million allocated for bulletproof vehicles purchased on credit.”
The contents of the article are sourced to Opposition Member of Parliament Juan Edghill who is currently serving a four-session suspension. It is alleged that in 2017 government purchased five new bullet proof vehicles despite there being no corresponding allocation. As such the article concludes that government made purchases on credit and is now attempting to cover this irregularity.
