Dear Editor,
Please refer to letter captioned “City Hall is a special place” penned by Shanta Singh, which appeared in the Monday December 18, 2017, edition of your newspapers. The tone and content of the missive indicates that the author has access to serious information about the operations of the City Constabulary Department.
Miss Singh mentioned some serious issues about the City Constabulary Department, such as the disappearance of large quantities of ammunitions, bail money and firearms.
If Miss. Shanta Singh is a credible source, then she is a potential person of interest for the Guyana Police Force and the Investigation Department of the City Constabulary Department. Peradventure, she may be privy to more information about the workings of the City Constabulary Department that may be insidious from the general public.
Therefore, the City Council should follow up on the information provided by this author with regards to the ammunitions. Give the current spate of gun crimes in Guyana; the disappearance of ammunitions from the precincts of a Law enforcement building is an indictable matter that requires further investigation.
I also observed that the author made a sweeping assertion about gross negligence and sloppy management at City Hall. An entire organisation cannot be blamed for negligence of a few officers.
Every organisation has its own peculiar challenges and City Hall is no exception. It is on this note that I would like to commend the Council for its efforts to restore the aesthetics of Le Repentir Cemetery and proposed that a strict maintenance schedule be implemented so that we do not see the degeneration of the final resting place of our loved ones.
