Slowe seeking to stop new Police Service Commission from making promotions

Paul Slowe

Retired Assistant Com-missioner of Police, Paul Slowe has applied to High Court Judge, Justice Gino Persaud for an injunction to halt any promotion of members of the Guyana Police Force (GPF) by the new Police Service Commission (PSC).

Slowe is particularly contending that no promotion can be allowed to proceed in light of his previous challenge which is still pending before the High Court, to last year’s suspension by the President, of the PSC.

In the circumstances, Slowe is seeking an injunction restraining the Com-mission, the Prime Minister and the Attorney General who are listed as Respondents, from promoting or publishing a promotions list for members of the GPF, until the matter he previously filed has been fully dispensed with.
