Police commission to continue to comply with promotions directive

Though the life of the Police Service Commission (PSC) will come to an end in a few weeks, Chairman Omesh Satyanand has said that it will continue to comply with the president’s directive to halt the consideration of promotions.

“Like I said, we have sat and the directive…you heard the president say he ask for a delay and the commission members agreed that they [will] hold off on the promotion,” Satyanand told Stabroek News when contacted.

He made it clear that there hasn’t been any change in this position, while reminding that the matter is now engaging the attention of the court.
