Plainclothes policemen occupy seats at Parliament press table

The two policemen who had positioned themselves at the press table inside the Chambers of the National Assembly on Wednesday

Two plainclothes policemen were at the press table at parliament yesterday apparently pretending to be reporters and one was ordered away by his superiors after several journalists complained to the Clerk of the National Assembly.

The reason for their positioning at the press table remained unclear up to press time as the police have provided no explanation.

Stabroek News along with other members of the media covering day three of the consideration of the budget estimates became suspicious of an unfamiliar male seated at the table designated for media personnel during the morning session.
