He says his aim is to stop murders in the country and says he is pain personally at everyone that occurs.

Sandy is using the opportunity to highlight the work that his Ministry is doing to fight crime and lawlessness.

Opposition leader Keith Rowley says Reasmah Ramnarine jumped at least 22 positions in the SSA for which she was not qualified.
Rowley is on his feet now in Parliament and is calling for the resignation of National Security Minister John Sandy to resign.
The Opposition Leader has had several interruptions already by Government MPs.
He is describing a litany of blunders that led to Ramnarine’s appointment and subsequent resignation.

The Parliament Chamber is expected to be heated today with debate over the admitted blunderings of Government Ministers in the appointment of Reshmi Ramnarine as head of the Strategic Services Agency.

National Security Minister John Sandy, who issued an apology last evening, is expected to apologise again in the Chamber in what some say may be an effort to thwart a motion by Opposition Leader Keith Rowley to refer him to the Priviledges Committee of Parliament.

Opposition MPs are also planning to raise the issue as motions on the adjournment of the House.
