Mysterious ‘Policia’ signs another chapter of the lack of transparency and governance which has gripped the nation 

Sep 20, 2023 Letters

Dear Editor,

The appearance of ‘Policia’ on vehicles belonging to the Guyana Police Force must be explained to the population forthwith.  In a country of any consequence, citizens must not wake up to signs on security vehicles without an explanation. It is the duty of a transparent government to present to the population:

– what policy decisions if any led to this development?

– at what forum or level was this decision made?

– when was the decision made?

– what are the aims of objectives of this policy?

It is regrettable that days have elapsed without a word from the Ministry of Home Affairs or the Guyana Police Force on the reason for this development.  I hereby call on the Government to honor their oath to the people and explain this change which is being funded by the people’s money.  This call is made against the backdrop of rising crime and Guyana facing its most insecure time in decades, this lack of transparency does not help.

Sincerely,

Ms. Geeta Chandan-Edmond

Attorney-at-Law
