Capita-Symonds Group to start working in matter of days – Rohee

Feb 01, 2013 News

 
By Zena Henry
The implementation of the much-anticipated security plan may very well get underway in a matter of days. Home Affairs Minister Clement Rohee has revealed that the British team that was sought to assist in making significant beneficial changes in the nation’s police force will start their work soon.
Rohee made the assertion during an interview earlier this week, shortly before formally signing a contract to engage the Capita-Symonds Group. He said that the foreign group was already in the country and ready to commence activties.
According to Rohee, the team is expected to work in several areas of the force including administration, succession planning, probity, integrity, public relations and communications.
The group is further expected to work with key persons in the organization, as well as the 10 persons who will be chosen to work on the Strategic Management Committee, Rohee said. The processes by which the strategic plans and special implementations will be carried out had already been worked out, the Minister highlighted.
In relation to the Strategic Management department, Rohee related that after advertising for the various positions many persons have started applying for the job.
“Ten civilians will hold key positions in this strategic management department, which will now be a department of the police force, and they will work together with the police force to ensure that the plan will be implemented.”
“At a later stage a panel of distinguished persons will be appointed to go through the application and determine who is the best qualified for each of the positions,” Rohee continued.
The Minister said that he is very enthusiastic and confident that the relevant persons would do a good job. He is optimistic about the new security implementations for the country, but is adamant that the support of the relevant stakeholders is pivotal for the initiative’s success.
He called especially on the Opposition parties to see the plan as a benefit to the country and to not make the issue, “about Clement Rohee.”
“It would have been better if the opposition was on board and wholly supportive of the plan and the Ministry of Home Affairs under my stewardship.”
He insisted that “If the plan is good for Guyana, which is the main issue, then forget the individual. All the allegations that have been made against me have not been proven”.
It is now time to wait on the Commission of Inquiry, he said, to prove whether he or his agents had any part in the Linden situation.
Rohee is facing stiff criticism in the National Assembly with the House expressing “No confidence” in his abilities to effectively function as the Home Affairs Minister. Facing a “gag order” which seeks to silence him in his ministerial capacity, Rohee presented an elaborate plan that would see, among other things, significant changes within the Guyana Police Force and other entities under the purview of his Ministry.
