The Chairman of the Joint Services, Brigadier Godfrey Bess today said that he wished to remind citizens that irrespective of its ethnic composition the Joint Services “is an apolitical institution and will continue to uphold the noble position of service to the people of Guyana”.
It is unclear what exactly triggered the statement today.
The Joint Services said that it is “guided by the constitution which mandates it to stand firm in the protection of the law and in the execution of its duties, in keeping with its constitutional responsibilities, and not guided by any partisan values and interests”.
Brigadier Bess urged particularly social activists and commentators to “refrain from misleading and mischievous remarks which incite racial tensions, deviating from the promotion of the peace and security which the Services are mandated to maintain”.
