Army Chief-of-Staff Brigadier General Mark Phillips urged servicemen and women of the Guyana Defence Force (GDF) and its civilian staff to display exemplary conduct in the run-up to and in performing their role and duties during the upcoming national elections.
Briefing ranks on Wednesday morning, Phillips commenced his address by stating that contrary to what has been peddled nationally, the GDF is a professional organisation and remains the stable band in the society. “Service to the nation remains our motto,” he was quoted as saying in a statement issued by the GDF. “A thoroughly professional approach is to be demonstrated and maintained at all times,”
