Opposition Leader Aubrey Norton, retired Assistant Commissioner of Police Paul Slowe and APNU+AFC MP Christopher Jones have written to the Chief Justice asking for urgent hearings regarding their respective matters on the appointment of the Chairman of the Police Service Commission (PSC)—an injunction to halt any promotion of members of the Guyana Police Force (GPF) by the new PSC—and President Irfaan Ali’s appointment of Clifton Hicken as the acting Commissioner of Police.
Norton and Slowe in particular have expressed concern with recent promotions of members of the GPF by the new PSC.
