Opposition Leader Bharrat Jagdeo has once again decried the recently-concluded Commission of Inquiry (CoI) into the police force’s handling of an alleged plot to kill the president, saying it is nothing more than a tool to destroy the careers of hardworking policemen and an avenue to interfere with the Guyana Police Force.
“I believe that this government is using the CoI to shaft some of the senior people in the police force and that it was all carefully planned… to damage the careers of some individuals by this public charade, this buffoonery that took place in the CoI and it was indeed for that purpose,” Jagdeo told a press conference at his Church Street office on Wednesday.
Jagdeo said that the placement and promotion of ranks is the responsibility of the hierarchy of the police force and, therefore, President David Granger’s directive to halt the consideration of a promotions list has become a big issue.
