President David Granger on Thursday cited the lack of evidence and witnesses as the reasons why inquiries have not been led into the killing of persons following the 2002 Camp Street Prison jailbreak and the ensuing crime wave.
Granger appeared on Hits and Jams 94.1 Boom FM’s radio show “The Hot Seat” on Thursday, where he was questioned on a number of issues by host Stan Gouveia, including the failure to hold inquiries as promised during the APNU+AFC coalition’s 2015 elections campaign.
In response, Granger noted that they would have made a start with the Commission of Inquiry (CoI) into the Lindo Creek massacre, which involved members of the Guyana Police Force and the Guyana Defence Force, but he noted that a lot of the needed evidence was difficult to obtain. The president said the outcome of the inquiry was a great disappointment to him.
