CoI into alleged plot against Granger a waste of money – Jagdeo

The Commission of Inquiry (CoI) into the alleged plot to assassinate President David Granger is a waste of taxpayer dollars and may be part of a wider plan to demoralise senior policemen and sully their careers, Opposition Leader Bharrat Jagdeo charged on Friday.

“It (the inquiry) has implications for who takes over the force in the future…Reputations will be destroyed here”, he told reporters during a press conference at his Church Street office.

Jagdeo, a former President,  described the alleged assignation plot as a “trivial” matter and said that inquiring into how the police handled it could have been done differently. He expressed his disagreement with Commissioner of the CoI, Paul Slowe being allowed to question senior officers of the force.
