GHRA criticises setting up of new crime-fighting team

The Guyana Human Rights Association (GHRA) on Saturday declared that the creation of a “new force” by the PPP/C government would formalize the “existing practice of treating [the Guyana Police Force and Guyana Defence Force] as subject to political direction.” 

A statement issued by the association stressed that the efficiency and professionalism of both forces require in general less, not more, political interference.
