compiled a list of breaches and they have sent that list for legal advice in relation to the statements that are made on social media inciting people and so on,” Ali said.

Ali said that the issue of race baiting and attempts to divide the people of Guyana are visible to anyone browsing social media. He noted that many of those involved in these acts are not persons who live here.

“A lot of these persons who are doing this, trying to divide our people racially, are those living outside of Guyana, who have no interest in coming back here but seem bent on creating mischief and I think it is time the force deal with these persons in a condign manner,” he stated.

When asked if he thinks that James should be retained as the Commission­er of Police when a new government is sworn in, Ali responded, that his party is not in a “witch-hunting” exercise.

“We are not in a witch hunting exercise….we are going to act profession­ally. The Commission­er has assured us that he and his team will continue to act profession­ally. We hold the commission­er to his commitment but we are not in a witch-hunting exercise about firing people and so. We are moving forward in this country,” he said.

“…I want the best for our country and I want to ensure that the security forces have everything in place to protect the people of our country, to protect the assets, to protect assets of individual­s and to protect the streets of our country,” Ali noted.
