The extension of barriers around parliament was done as a means of strengthening security, the Guyana Police Force said yesterday, in response to an article published in the Stabroek News.
“The Guyana Police Force wishes the Public to know that the barriers were directly related to the security of Parlia-ment,” the press release said.
The police force said that “this enhanced security arrangement has a nexus to terrorists incidents occurring in various countries around the World, some of which are perpetrated by self-radicalized persons.”
