President Irfaan Ali yesterday denied attempting to influence the work of the Police Service Commission (PSC), a charge levelled by the Chairman, former Assistant Commissioner Paul Slowe.
The accusations and counter-accusations are the latest salvoes in what has seen increasing divisions in the Guyana Police Force (GPF), controversy over promotions and a flurry of criminal charges
At a press conference yesterday, Slowe accused President Ali of attempting on several occasions to influence the promotion of senior members of the GPF. According to Slowe the charges of conspiracy to commit fraud which have been levelled against him and PSC member Clinton Conway are part of a plot to dismantle the current PSC and install a more easily influenced Commission before the current promotions list can be officially issued.
