RK security guards fired for exposing maltreatment
Lynn Edwards
Two former security guards are crying foul over their dismissal from the RK Security Services because they sought to expose maltreatment of employees to the local media.
According to Lynn Edwards and Brenda Huntley, the decision to fire them was radical. They added that they were not informed of the decision.
The disgruntled ex-security guards told this newspaper yesterday that RK’s employees were subjected to monies being deducted from their salaries without their knowledge or permission, however noble the cause.
The former employees complained that senior functionaries would verbally and physically abuse guards who would question the maltreatment, such as not being paid as they were supposed to.
Huntley claimed that she is still owed money from as early as March, as well as some leave salary.
According to Huntley, right now, she would just like to be paid the remaining half of her $30,000 salary for March and her one-week leave pay which was never paid to her. “I don’t deserve to be treated like this.”
According to Edwards, the company’s proprietor, Roshan Khan, warned them that were they to go to the media and complain, they would be fired.
The duo visited this newspaper on Monday last, and were fired when the Kaieteur News reporter sought a comment from Khan.
According to Edwards, he has been with the company since 2005 and deserved to be treated with, “some degree of some respect.”

Edwards stated that he tried to get in contact with the senior officials of RK security Services as well as Mr. Roshan Khan himself, but to no avail. He stated that one such official bluntly declared, “that he doesn’t care who Mr. Edwards is.”
A visibly emotional Edwards mentioned that he’s an evangelist and an honest man.
The ex-security guards said that there were a few others in the service with similar issues, but they are reluctant to approach the press and highlight the matter to the general public.
Efforts to contact Khan a second time proved futile. His office kept repeating that he was unavailable to comment on the issue.
