Is the Guyana Defence Force harbouring ticking time bombs in its ranks?

Apr 08, 2018 Letters

Dear Editor,

My respect to the bereaved of the late Miss Reona Payne who was gruesomely gunned down in public and I would also like to include the kids of the accused, Captain Orwain Sandy, that I sorry that you are feeling the consequences.
Though I am no expert on matters relating to the Guyana Defence Force, I am left to wonder about quite a lot.
Doesn’t the GDF offer the service of ‘Psychological Evaluation’ of its officers/ranks?
Even if it is accurate that the accused were seeing/visiting private Doctors for the past two years because of mental issues, did the GDF know of his condition?

If they did, why was this individual still in possession of his firearm?
Did the GDF/State fail this officer and other ranks currently serving by not providing the necessary services for their personal safety and the general public?
I am now left thinking that the Guyana Defense Force may have some ticking time bombs among its personnel.

Where do we go from here and how do we fix the situation?

Yours Faithfully
T.Pemberton
