The Leader of the Opposition, Bharrat Jagdeo yesterday singed the government over an instruction to the Police Service Commission not to consider promotions for members of the Guyana Police Force.
Constitutional commissions are not to be issued directives by the executive. There have been other instances where the APNU+AFC government has been accused of attempting to direct constitutional commissions.
The opposition PPP yesterday released a copy of a letter sent by Minister of State, Joseph Harmon to Marvalyn Stephens, the Secretary of the Police and Public Service Commissions wherein he wrote: “His Excellency, President David Granger has directed that there be no consideration of promotions for members of the Guyana Police Force by the Police Service Commission until further notice”.
