Preliminary investigations have found that the fires which gutted three public buildings including the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) office in Linden were acts of arson and de facto Minister of Public Security, Khemraj Ramjattan has since asked for an increase in patrols in every policing division across the country.
This disclosure was made in a press statement which was issued by the Ministry of Public Security on Tuesday night.
“……..Preliminary reports from the security forces point to arson in each case, this development is most unfortunate,” the statement said.
