Top officers of Law Enforcement agencies at the Disciplined Services’ Appreciation Day for outgoing President of Guyana and Commander-in-Chief, Bharrat Jagdeo.
Appreciation Day ceremony for Commander-in-chief, President Bharrat Jagdeo.
The function was held at the Officers’ Mess, Eve Leary and was attended by heads of the various Law Enforcement agencies.
In attendance and among the top ranking officers of the Guyana Defence Force, were Chief-of-Staff, Commodore Gary Best; Police Commissioner, Henry Greene; Guyana Fire Service Chief, Marlon Gentle and Head of the Guyana Prison Service, Dale Erskine.
This ceremony comes days before the Disciplined Services Forces cast their ballot and less than two weeks before a new Commander-in-Chief is elected.
About 30 minutes into the ceremony, after the Fire Chief completed his presentation, and while Erskine was delivering his remarks, the media was asked to leave by Public Relations Officer of the Guyana Police Force, Ivelaw Whittaker.
Prior to the expulsion, Whittaker inquired from journalists which media houses they were representing. Present were reporters from the Kaieteur News and the Guyana Times.
He left and returned to where the media were seated and informed them that they had not been invited.
