Georgetown : The People’s National Congress Reform (PNC/R) today calls for a comprehensive, independent, judicial inquiry into all aspects of narcotics-trafficking in Guyana . The discovery in Jamaica of 122.65 kg of cocaine in a container of timber from Guyana on the MV Vega Azurit on 12th March was only the most recent in a series of discoveries of shipments of illegal narcotics from this country over the past decade.
The PNCR feels that, without an independent investigation, the criminal cartel behind this crime will remain undetected and unpunished and Guyana will drift further towards becoming a narco-state. The party blames the ruling People’s Progressive Party/Civic of being unable and unwilling to counter narcotics-trafficking.
The PNC/R reminded of the United States Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs’ International Narcotics Control Strategy Report which was released on 3rd saying“ Guyana is a trans-shipment point for cocaine from Colombia and Venezuela destined for North America, Europe, and the Caribbean .”
