Police not targeting Gilhuys
– Henry Greene
“He is not targeted, not at all,” was the remark of Commissioner Henry Greene when he responded to statements reportedly made by Magistrate Gordon Gilhuys.
Mr Gilhuys had gone public with the accusation that he is being targeted by the Guyana Police Force.
Commissioner Green said that the magistrate, who is also a former police officer, is always invited to all police functions.
However, commenting on the magistrate’s recent confrontation with law officers, Commissioner Greene pointed out that anyone who comes under the microscope has to be dealt with in accordance with the law.
“We have nothing against Mr Gilhuys…It is just that we do what we have to do in accordance with the law. I don’t know if the police force caused Mr Gilhuys to have an accident on Mandela Avenue.”
According to Commissioner Greene, even officers are brought before the courts from time to time. “While we embrace you, when you do wrong, we also have to deal with you.”
The magistrate was slapped with six charges stemming from a motor vehicle accident on Mandela Avenue on October 2 last.
Subsequent to that accident, the police served Mr Gilhuys with notice of prosecution. When he appears in court on Monday, he will have to answer to being an unlicensed driver, failing to produce a driver’s licence, driving an uninsured vehicle, driving an uncertified vehicle, careless driving, and driving an unlicensed vehicle.
Meanwhile, in connection with an earlier shooting incident involving the magistrate, Commissioner Greene confirmed that the firearm used by the magistrate was in fact the property of the police force.
Commissioner Greene said that a former commissioner had loaned the weapon to Magistrate Gilhuys, adding that such a practice was not unusual, since it is customary for the police force to loan weapons to very senior people in society from time to time.
