An Agricola resident is still waiting on promised compensation from the Guyana Police Force (GPF) six years after suffering accidental gunshot injuries
It has been six years since then Commissioner of Police, David Ramnarine, informed Agricola resident, Parmadai (only name), that the Force had been advised to compensate her after she was wounded during a shootout between lawmen and two bandits. However, Parmadai is yet to receive any of the promised compensation.
Parmadai spoke to Stabroek News on Wednesday and related that her interactions with the police and Ministry of Home Affairs began in 2019 when she visited the Office of the Police Commissioner. According to the woman, an officer acting on behalf of the commissioner, assured Parmadai that [he] will look into the matter. He further assured that her matter will be brought up for discussion at the next police meeting.
