The police commissioner, Leslie James, said the Guyana Police Force remains fully committed to the affected families and that each month similar handing over ceremonies are held to bring assistance to those who suffered the loss of their loved ones.
Pastor Raphael Massiah said the foundation is aiming to bring desktop computers very soon to each of the affected families.

The President of the foundation said they have taken it upon themselves to provide desktop computers to each of the affected families. These computers are expected to be handed over very soon.
