Security still work in progress – Ali

President Irfaan Ali on Friday said that significant effort is being made to improve local security and reduce crime.

“A lot is going on but security still remains a work in progress,” Ali told the Annual General Meeting (AGM) of the Private Sector Commission (PSC).

In what appeared to be a gentle rebuke of the Georgetown Chamber of Commerce and Industry (GCCI), which on the previous day expressed “tremendous concern” about “the escalating rate of crime that is occurring in Guyana,” Ali suggested that it would be better to communicate “with each other” rather than issue public criticisms.
