Dear Editor,
The recent dismissal of a senior police officer has been given much publicity.
Reading all the articles in the newspapers about the subject, one is led to believe that the Public Service Commission (PSC) is the only guilty party in all of this.
Many of the reporters and writers in the press seem to have forgotten that Mr. Mc Bean was a hired public servant.
Mr. Mc Bean, being a senior police ought to have known the correct procedure before proceeding to pursue the scholarship. He committed the first breach and has faced the results of his actions. The rest is history.
How must the PSC react to an infringement of the rules of the Guyana Police Force, promotion or discipline? The management of any institution reserves the right to decide on what level of discipline it wants to enforce. Flavio Da Silva
