Home Affairs Ministry accuses Slowe of sowing seeds of disaffection and disunity

Jun 10, 2010 News

The Ministry of Home Affairs says that it is amazed and concerned about what it described as the recent wild antics coming from retiring senior officer, Assistant Commissioner Paul Slowe, over the past seven days.
The Ministry, in a statement issued yesterday, was responding to comments made by Slowe during his pre-retirement addresses and in an interview with another section of the media.
Slowe among other things had pointed out that there is endemic corruption in the Guyana Police Force and cited a number of unprofessional conduct among the ranks.
But in a strongly worded statement the Ministry said that Slowe, in some of his bombardments in the media, has tacitly admitted that matters of improper conduct and other infringements allegedly committed by ranks, were brought to his attention, but he failed to take action, as a senior police officer. “He has also made a number of allegations of corruption in the Force, but the question that should be asked of him, is as a senior police officer, what did he do, to address those matters? He, by his own words, may be guilty of ‘Dereliction of Duty.” According to the Home Affairs Ministry, Slowe is reported to have said in one of his diatribes, during last week that he was ashamed to be a member of the Force, as a result of an incident or some incidents that occurred in the Force.
“As a senior police officer, that is the stage at which he should have used his management skills to assist the Force’s administration to address the problems which he said made him “ashamed” of being a member of the Force, which he earlier claimed he loved.”
On the issue of promotion to a higher rank in the Force, like with other many other organizations, this not automatic; it must be earned, the ministry stated.
“The inconsistencies in the utterances of this retired police officer have been noted by the Ministry of Home Affairs.”
The Ministry said that it is extremely disappointed in the conduct of Assistant Commissioner Paul Slowe, in what it described as his latest attempt to sow seeds of disaffection and disunity among the members of the Guyana Police Force.
The Ministry condemned, in the strongest possible terms, the behaviour of Assistant Commissioner Paul Slowe.
