Days after the Georgetown Chamber of Commerce and Industry (GCCI) condemned the police for an “aggressive” posture towards members of the political parties and observer teams during the electoral process, the Guyana Police Force (GPF) yesterday defended its actions.
The GPF responded to a statement issued last Wednesday by the GCCI, calling it “unfounded, biased, unmerited and highly fallacious,” while maintaining that it is an impartial organisation.
The police described the title of the GCCI statement—“GCCI Condemns Aggressive Posture taken by GPF and Political Interference in Electoral Process”—as “highly prejudicial” to the force as it relates to its actions during an incident on March 16 at the Arthur Chung Conference Centre.
