The Guyana Association of Professional Social Workers (GAPSW) yesterday called for a prompt, thorough, impartial and transparent probe to determine whether there is any criminal culpability on the part of Minister of Local Government, Nigel Dharamlall in relation to allegations made by a 16-year-old schoolgirl.
In a statement, GAPSW said that the “underlying allegations of rape and sodomy are most disturbing and particularly troubling that the young complainant is a member of our indigenous peoples” and who had participated in an event over which the Minister had some official responsibility.
