Bring Back David Ramnarine

Mar 14, 2021 Letters

DEAR EDITOR,

Our country cannot go forward if our leaders and managers make and effect decisions that are partisan and take us 20 steps backwards.
The Guyana Police Force is our premier entity charged with protecting our people domestically.
It does no good to see and hear about the deep divisions that exists within the Force.
It flies in the face of the mandate of the Force, that is, service to the people.
It should galvanise us to action the words of the police chaplain who appealed for a different Police Force and for interventions.
The good chaplain would know what he was talking about. He had the biggest audience…the President of Guyana…and he made it clear that the Force was haemorrhaging. From racism to corruption, the issues have been raised. The good chaplain must be applauded for saying what all Guyana knows. He has taken the bull by the horns.
The reality is that the Force is deeply fragmented because of a power struggle in the hierarchy.
The people of Guyana are the collateral damage.
The President has to arrest this situation immediately. He was present and heard the appeal for a better Police Force by the chaplain who has been there for more than a decade and a half.
It was shocking for Guyana to wake up to news that to reward the chaplain for being blunt; for doing his civic duty and for being honest that someone or a number of persons decided to end his attachment with the Force.
Surely, the President who defended the good chaplain should be unhappy. The President said he saw nothing wrong with the chaplain’s concerns.
It is time for the people of Guyana to have a Force where at least visible efforts by management must be made to improve the image of the Force. We cannot continue this path.
Perhaps the powers that be can consider bringing back former Commissioner (ag) David Ramnarine to help in these reforms. The reforms have to begin yesterday not tomorrow.
We the people of Guyana cannot continue in this manner. The fish is rotting from its head.
Desperate times call for desperate measures.
The President would do well to order an inquiry to determine who took the decision to fire the chaplain. The opening is there also to bring back David Ramnarine…a man who knows how to upset the apple cart.
