The removal by the police on Wednesday of their chaplain, Reverend Patrick Doolichand over a prayer he delivered was swiftly reversed after the intervention of President Irfaan Ali.
In the embarrassing climbdown, the Guyana Police Force also clarified that President Ali had not complained about the payer as had been alleged in the dismissal letter given to Doolichand.
Speaking to Stabroek News yesterday, Doolichand said that after the news of the appointment being revoked circulated, Ali, the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, reached out to him and informed him that he was still the force’s Chaplain.
