The hierarchy of the Guyana Defence Force has come out in strong condemnation of three Coast Guard ranks who abducted Dweive Kant Ramdass, while making off with $17M he was carrying.
The statement, issued by Chief of Staff, Commodore Gary Best, also confirmed that an inquiry has been launched into the incident.
“The Guyana Defence Force condemns in the strongest possible terms the criminal action of its Coast Guard ranks stationed at Fort Island. Their actions in no way represent the ethos and character of the Guyana Defence Force,” the statement said.
“It is reprehensible and will be met with the full force of the law.”
The implicated ranks are in police custody. I have launched a full inquiry into the circumstances that led to this dastardly act.”
According to Commodore Best, it is clear from initial reports that there was a breakdown in the command and leadership structure at this unit, “for which strong administrative action will be taken.”
“The Coast Guard will lead and continue the search until the missing businessman is located.
I wish to assure citizens, the fishing community, fishermen, small boats and other vessel operators that the Defence Force subscribes to the highest of professional standards and will continue to discharge its mandate notwithstanding this unsavoury incident.”
“The Force expresses its regrets to the family of the missing businessman for the pain they may be enduring.”
LISTEN HOW JAGDEO WILL MAKE ALL GUYANESE RICH!!!
