Slowe withdraws injunction against new police promotions

With the promotion of members of the Guyana Police Force (GPF) by the new Police Service Commission (PSC) having taken place in spite of his efforts to prevent any such move, retired Assistant Commissioner of Police and immediate former Chairman of the Commission Paul Slowe has had to withdraw his application for an injunction.

Through his attorneys, he has, however, requested a “stay of the effect of those promotions.”

When the matter came up yesterday afternoon before Justice Gino Persaud, attorney Selwyn Pieters in response to enquiries from the Judge, was keen on pointing out that his client’s injunction application had been filed and served on government and the new Commission way before the promotions, yet they were made.
