UK expert to steer security reform

During his 12-month stint at the Ministry of the Presidency, British security expert Lt Col. (Rtd) Russell Combe is expected to produce a plan to guide Guyana’s security reform, British High Commissioner Greg Quinn said yesterday.

Combe arrived in Guyana last month and according to Quinn his secondment meets the request made to him by President David Granger to reinvigorate the United Kingdom’s support for the security sector in Guyana.

Speaking at a press conference held at his Bel Air residence yesterday, Quinn disclosed that during his stint Combe would be looking at a strategy and focus on coming up with a plan that will form the basis for the Security Sector Reform Action Plan (SSRAP).
