Guyana needs DEA
– Ambassador
The American ambassador to Guyana, John Jones, is urging the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration to open an office in Guyana to help the government fight drug smuggling that is supplying the U.S. cocaine habit.
Ambassador Jones hopes the DEA will relocate its office in Trinidad to help Guyana, where the drug trade accounts for an estimated 20 percent of its gross domestic product of about $3.7 billion.
Guyana is also crippled by Government corruption and recently fired the chief of its anti-drug agency and eight officers after they failed lie-detector tests, according to a report out of North America.
