The Guyana Police Force tonight refuted claims by a section of the media (MTV News Update Ch. 65) that senior ranks of the Force were involved in a plot to assassinate President David Granger which the force said the TV station intends to air on its newscast tonight.
“This false and malicious accusation levelled against members of the Force is designed to tarnish the good reputation of the Organisation.
“Third Vice President and Minister of Public Security Hon. Khemraj Ramjattan said that Government is fully aware of all of the circumstances surrounding the issue at hand and is also convinced that no such evidence exists against members of the Force.
“The Police Force is therefore cautioning Media Entities against making such dangerous statements against its members, failing which legal action will be taken against those responsible”, the police said.
The Ministry of the Presidency yesterday said that an investigation is underway of an alleged plot to kill the President.
