In an effort to restore and preserve law and order at all levels of society, the Government has allocated $47.9 billion towards public safety and security in the 2022 budget.
This announcement was by Senior Minister in the Office of the President with responsibility for Finance, Dr Ashni Singh during his 2022 national budget presentation at the Arthur Chung Conference Centre yesterday.
Singh told the National Assembly that the sum of $4.9 billion would be allocated towards strengthening the assets of the Guyana Police Force (GPF), $400 million of which would go towards the construction of a multi-storey Brickdam Police Station which was gutted by fire in October last year.
