Outgoing Police Commissioner Seelall Persaud yesterday defended the decision he made in January to grant himself a gun dealership licence saying that he was following the precedent that his predecessors left behind.
“If you look historically you would see that over the last 25 years all the commissioners maybe with the exception of one granted themselves firearms licences so it is not anything new and you know we live in a society today where one set of circumstances is good for one person but not good for the other”, he told reporters while insisting that he had committed no wrong.
