Police Commissioner (acting) David Ramnarine yesterday said that cops should not have entered Parliament Chambers on Monday in an incident which triggered a clash with PPP/C MPs and he said important lessons have been learnt.
Following a string of incidents which have raised concerns about security in Parliament, Ramnarine issued terse responses yesterday to each of them and said that the Guyana Police Force is “satisfied that the security of Parliament in these times is assured”.
The entry of policemen into the Chambers on Monday following the refusal of PPP/C MP Juan Edghill to adhere to a ruling by Speaker, Dr Barton Scotland led to a melee after some of the junior police sought to have the MP removed. Some of the policemen ended up in a fracas with PPP/C MPs.
