Former Minister of Home Affairs Clement Rohee has described the recent transfer of Assistant Commissioner of Police Edgar Thomas as “grossly unfair” and “flagrantly high-handed” and has accused Com-missioner of Police Leslie James of failing to execute his duties.
Thomas was relieved of his command as the head of Region Four (A) last week Thursday after he reportedly failed to clear the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) Region Four command centre of all persons in the wake of a bomb threat that day. Stabroek News had previously reported that Thomas was spearheading the police operation at the GECOM Media Centre, which is also the office for the Returning Officer of Region Four, when he received a telephone call from a rank informing him of his transfer.
