Assassination plot inquiry exposed ‘serious deficiencies’ in police force

President David Granger yesterday said that the recently-concluded Commission of Inquiry (CoI) into the alleged assassination plot against him has exposed serious deficiencies and weaknesses in the Guyana Police Force that have to be corrected.

According to a statement issued by the Ministry of the Presidency, Granger made it clear that the CoI was not meant to be a witch-hunt, but said that work has to be done to ensure that the police force is more professional and efficient in the execution of its duties and responsibilities. He added that its findings point to some critical areas, which will need to be addressed as part of security sector reform.
