Georgetown: The Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) and the police legal advisor are assisting with investigations surrounding a plot to shoot President David Granger while he is on one of his many outreaches. Minster of State, Joseph Harmon, at a post Cabinet briefing Thursday at the Ministry of Presidency, revealed that the administration has been provided with some information by the police about an ongoing investigation of this nature, the investigation has reached a point where advise of the police legal advisor is also being sought. “While we have a popular President that all the people around the country love and embrace him, there are sometimes misguided people, especially of what they see on Facebook and copycat type of issues and therefore we always have to be careful,” Harmon said. He explained that since the investigation is ongoing he is not at liberty to disclose in any great details about the nature of the inquiry. “I have the full confidence of the ability of the security forces to protect our President and the Ministers of Government who have been elected by the people to run the government,” Harmon noted. He said security runs against Presidents’, which are popular and want to embrace the people. When asked if names of high ranking policemen were listed as being involved, Harmon said he was not briefed about such information. He chastised the Opposition Leader, Bharrat Jagdeo for being critical of the new concrete walls securing the Ministry of the Presidency (MoP). Harmon had previously contended that the fence must be consistent with security features of a high office such as one of the President. The previous chain-link fence has been dismantled for a more than 12-foot high concrete wall that also provides now, for very little view into the premises.
