The Private Sector Com-mission (PSC) last Tuesday met with Minister of Public Security Khemraj Ramjattan and a high-level security team on its concerns over the recent Camp Street Prison fire and prison breakouts, which it says has undermined public confidence in the government’s ability to ensure public security.

The PSC yesterday said it met with Ramjattan on the advice of President David Granger, to whom it has related its concerns about the lack of confidence in the government’s ability to ensure the security of the country and the safety of the citizenry.
