Combating the drug trade is our focus – Rohee
As the polygraph testing for ranks of the Guyana Police Force continues, Home Affairs Minister Clement Rohee has stated that its main focus will be the Narcotics Unit of the Force.

In an invited comment, the Minister said that the testing will not be moved to other ranks of the force but instead it will focus on the narcotics ranks. According to Rohee, the Administration’s main focus is combating the drug trade within the security forces.
The testing started sometime last week to the surprise of the ranks who expressed fear of what their results would be, given the fact that the questions they are being asked has nothing to do with their job.
The ranks claim that the questions they are being asked are politically motivated.
In the meantime, this newspaper has been informed that all the ranks at the Police Narcotics Branch have all completed their tests and are anxiously awaiting their results.
The next batch of ranks expected to begin their tests are those stationed at the Cheddi Jagan International Airport.
In an earlier interview, Commissioner of Police Henry Greene had stated that the move by the administration was welcomed by the force.
In the past several other employees of various organisations have been subjected to polygraph testing.
Among those were the employees of the Customs Anti-Narcotics Unit (CANU). When it was found that several of the employees failed the test they were sent home.
The then head of CANU Orville Nedd and some eight other employees were sent packing.
