APNUcalls on the PPP/C administration to act now to ensure safety of all Guyanese

Guyana-APNU-logoGeorgetown : A Partnership for National Unity (APNU) calls on the People Progressive Party/Civic (PPPC) administration to take immediate measures to ensure the safety and security of the citizens of Guyana.

 The tragic accident that occurred yesterday afternoon at Kairuni Creek where a six week old baby and 23 year old woman, Anastacia Forde, lost their lives.

 APNU has previously communicated with President Donald Ramotar about the party’s dissatisfaction with the state of policing in Guyana and the need for corrective measures to be taken in order to ensure the safety and security of all Guyanese.

 APNU has brought attention to speeding, poor lighting and insufficient law-enforcement on the Linden-Soesdyke Highway.

 APNU calls for the establishment of a well-staffed properly trained and equipped Highway Patrol that will aggressively patrol our highways in search of errant drivers.  The Guyana Police Force (GPF) has said that speeding is the leading cause of death on the roads.
