Dear Editor,
The alleged sexual assault on Colwyn Harding, which has received corroboration from independent medical examinations, has naturally given rise to written and verbal protests. Mr Harding and his immediate family members are being assisted by a support group which is headed by Melissa Ifill.
Meanwhile, there is an ongoing investigation into another allegation from a sixteen-year-old male, who has claimed that he was sexually assaulted by three policemen at the Stabroek Market Police Outpost.
Editor, amidst the advocacies that naturally followed those incidents, there is a call for yet another commission of inquiry to look into the administration and operations of the Guyana Police Force. I want to find out why the government and the Ministry of Home Affairs have not acted to implement the recommendations of previous commissions of inquiry which looked into the functioning of the Guyana Police Force.
There could be hardly any reasonable excuse for the administration not to get it right with the Guyana Police Force, because while the country might be large geographically, it is rather small in terms of population and in terms of the size of the police force.
Yours faithfully,
Morris Wilson
