Although government views the recommendations from the recent Commission of Inquiry (CoI) into the alleged plot to kill the president seriously, no final decision has been taken on the way forward, Minister of State Joseph Harmon said yesterday.
“They [the recommendations] are still in the contemplation of His Excellency but I can say to you that we are taking those recommendations very seriously and actions will be taken on them,” Harmon told a post-Cabinet press briefing.
His comment came a day after the final report of the CoI, which was conducted by retired Assistant Commissioner Paul Slowe, was laid in the National Assembly.
The CoI concluded that Commissioner of Police Seelall Persaud’s ability to continue to hold the post has become “untenable” and recommended that he should be made to resign under terms considered appropriate by President David Granger, or if he fails to do so, be removed for misbehaviour.
