Dear Editor,
I am a police constable stationed at Mackenzie Police Station ‘E’ Division Upper Demerara Linden. I read a recent letter in your column of incidents that a rank mentioned affecting other ranks at the Mackenzie Police Station.
My surprise is why would any rank want to condemn the Commander who they are faced with on a daily basis?
I would not be wasting this newspaper time to publish my letter if it meant nothing. The commander of ‘E’ Division has created a difference in that region since he took effect of that office and shared a very good relation with his ranks.
The redundant letter I read about is inclusive of utter lies. And it was not a concerned rank that wrote it but an ex-police corporal who got dismissed for his rogue actions.
We have a commander who doesn’t tolerate malpractice from ranks; as such, one would use that opportunity to say ill things about anyone who is a no nonsense person.
Our Commander is a person who would sit and listen to complaints and even visit communities around Linden to ensure law and order is maintained.
I wish if the concerned rank as stated had mentioned that he got dismissed for obtaining monies from persons for issuance of drivers’ licences among other corruptions.
Why batter the Commander for practices that matters not in Linden but in the past life of the Commander as a serving member of the police force?
My point is if all this is true, then please come forward with the evidence of our Commander, whom none of us ranks have a problem with, and deal with this as adults in the professional way.
My grandfather always taught me that when we can condemn our leader it is because we cannot compete or meet the standard of that individual.
On behalf of the ranks of ‘E’ Division, we do not know about any malpractice of our Commander and are in no way associated with the recent letter published in this newspaper.
We are proud of our Commander and respect given is respect earned, with all due respect.
Thank you for this space.
Sincerely
Ranks of ‘E’ Division

(Kaieteur News) – I like it. More money for Guyanese workers. Not private sector minimum wage workers, regrettably. If any local workers are due more money, private sector (and public service) minimum wage workers standout. More money is for Guyanese in the oil industry.
