Ramjattan comfortable with internal probe of allegations against Crime Chief

Lyndon Alves

Even as he sought to reassure the public that the allegations made against Crime Chief Lyndon Alves will be properly probed and the truth found, Public Security Minister Khemraj Ramjattan yesterday said that he sees nothing wrong with the force’s Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR) conducting the investigation.

“I am very comfortable with the OPR…Who you want us to put ? …We have to build institutions in Guyana to the extent of letting them get integrity and reputation and unless we start doing that, nothing will grow in Guyana,” he told reporters following the commissioning of two key pieces of equipment at the Turkeyen-based Guyana Forensic Science Laboratory (GFSL).

Recently, a number of police officers have spoken out about alleged corrupt practices in B Division, including money being collected from criminals.
