According to Minister of State Joseph Harmon, following reports of attacks by armed gangs (Sindicatos), Guyana’s security forces are taking measures to assure citizens operating in the Cuyuni River that they are safe.
He stressed that the forces have sufficient resources at their disposal but are currently being stretched by having to investigate nuisance reports.
Harmon announced at yesterday’s Post-Cabinet press briefing that the Parliamentary Oversight Committee on the Security Sector, led by Minister of Public Security, Khemraj Ramjattan visited several border communities in Region 1 (Barima-Waini).
