In less than a year, there have been three major international drug busts linked to Guyana, all of which have prompted local investigations but without a single charge being brought.
The busts have raised a number of questions, particularly as it relates to the level of security in place at the country’s ports since the shipments were able to leave without being detected.
They have also led to concerns about the operation of the container scanning system at the Guyana Revenue Authority and possible corruption involving the monitoring staff.
