Home Affairs Minister calls for C division commander David Ramnarine to be disciplined.

Georgetown- In a letter to the press Home Affairs Minister Clement Rohee wrote; “The Ministry of Home Affairs stands firm in its view that all members of the Guyana Police Force without exception from Constable to Commander must uphold the Standing Orders of the Guyana Police Force. Ramnarine is wrong in seeking to make himself an exception from a long established custom and practice and to cover that exception under the guise of his constitutional rights as a citizen of Guyana. This is response to a letter appearing in the press by David Ramnarine who defended himself against the evidence of his signature on a cheque that he claims not to have received. He stated that he was looking at the forest and lost sight of the trees in his defense claiming that he did sign a cheque days later during last year when the money was allocated for ranks during elections. Ramnarine is holding firm to his disclosures which now forced the Home Affairs Minister to ask the Commissioner of Police to take appropriate action at his level in accordance with the Police (Discipline) Act Chapter 17:0. Rohee said Ramnarine's actions are contrary to the force’s standing orders that prevent commanders to speak to the press.
