Charrandass Persaud probe is ‘national security’ matter

Charrandass Persaud

Police Commissioner Leslie James yesterday refused to disclose details of the ongoing investigation involving former government Member of Parliament (MP) Charrandass Persaud, saying that it is a national security issue which “will not be disclosed publicly” at this point.

“…It’s a matter where a former Member of Parliament is reported to have been involved allegedly in some matter and that is what we’re dealing with,” he told reporters when asked what makes the matter being probed one of national security.

James responded to questions from the media shortly after the opening ceremony of the Guyana Police Force’s Annual Officers’ Conference had ended at State House.
