Minister of Public Security Khemraj Ramjattan yesterday disclosed that while the contract of former embattled head of the Special Organised Crime Unit (SOCU) Sydney James has not expired, he will not be returning to the unit.
“I think his (James) contract has not expired but he is on administrative leave and somebody else named Althea Padmore has taken on his function. So, he is not going to come back,” Ramjattan told reporters following the commissioning of the new Parfaite Harmonie Police Station.
Meanwhile, Commiss-ioner of Police Leslie James said Sydney James recently fell ill and as a result he would be subject to continued questioning after he recovers.
