Police trailing of Norton `unnecessary’ – Benn

Robeson Benn

Minister of Home Affairs, Robeson Benn has described the police action in trailing Opposition Leader, Aubrey Norton as an “untidy, unnecessary and useless” exercise.

“It was an untidy, unnecessary and a useless exercise. ….We ain’t in the business of following anybody around like that and I am sure that the police, if they wanted to follow Mr Norton around would have better ways which are less obvious of following him around, if they ever wanted to follow him around,” Benn told Stabroek News in an invited comment last night.

Without divulging details, he said he has since engaged the Guyana Police Force (GPF) to determine whether it was necessary.
