Top Cop retirement is a slap in the face – YCT
The Youth Coalition for Transformation (YCT) has stated that the Government giving Former Commissioner of Police Henry Greene a chance to retire is a slap in the face for the people of Guyana.
According to the YCT’s Shondell Hope, once again the PPP/C administration has insulted the Guyanese people with its refusal to discipline the now former Police Commissioner.
“The Youth Coalition for Transformation (YCT) is dismayed by reports that Mr. Greene offered to retire from his post as Police Commissioner,” Hope asserted.
The youth leader stated that since allegations of rape were leveled against Greene, the YCT together with other organizations have been calling for the Top Cop to be disciplined. “What we got instead is a government that proved in its action that it does not take women’s issues very serious.”
Hope pointed to the fact that a woman was alleged to have been raped, and the administration refused to have it addressed effectively as evidenced by the fact that government has allowed the now former Commissioner to retire rather than institute some form of disciplinary action against him.
“We also cannot forgive the women in the PPP/C Government, especially Human Services Minister Jennifer Webster, on their failure to address the issue, not from a political standpoint but from that as women.”
Hope further highlighted the comments made by Education Minister Priya Manickchand, but noted that it seemed “a little too late in coming”.
