Charrandass Persaud

Cabinet has been updated on the police investigation of former government Member of Parliament (MP) Charrandass Persaud and is now awaiting a fuller report, Minister of State Joseph Harmon said on Thursday.

Responding to questions from reporters after the opening ceremony of the Guyana Defence Force’s Annual Officers’ Conference, Harmon disclosed that Cabinet was advised that the investigations are “well advanced and because of the nature of the investigations the police would prefer to keep the work that they are doing under wraps until such time that they are able to give a proper and fuller report.”

Asked about the timeframe for the delivery of the final report, he said that it was not for him to say but the police. “…It is a professional investigation that is going on and the police must be able to say where the investigation is,” he explained.
