Dear Editor, As an ex-member of the army, I always remember that safety and security is the business of every citizen of Guyana, and I don’t think that anyone in their right senses is going to instruct a magistrate to travel in a speedboat to conduct state business in the interior (Bartica), an area where innocent citizens lost their lives in a massacre.
