Georgetown : The Guyana Police Force in responding to an article published in the Stabroek News today Tuesday, January 12, 2016, under the caption “Ramjattan withholds comment on botched SOCU Operation”.

 

In the article it is stated that “Stabroek News also reached out to Police Commissioner Seelall Persaud but to no avail as after a wait of more than 30 minutes at his Eve Leary Office, this newspaper was told he was preparing to head off to a meeting.

 

The Guyana Police Force now says that during yesterday Stabroek News reporter Ms. Zoisa Fraser, who is known personally to the Commissioner of Police for about 7 years, came to the Commissioner’s Office and told the Personal Assistant to the Commissioner (PAC) that she was making a courtesy call on the Commissioner, whereupon she was informed that the Commissioner was in a meeting”.

 

Upon conclusion of the meeting the Commissioner was so informed and he immediately indicated to the PAC that he had to attend another meeting and could not accommodate the courtesy call at that time.

 

This was communicated to Ms. Zoisa Fraser, who would have witnessed the Commissioner exiting the Conference Room among a number of officers, and she left the Commissioner’s Office.

 

The Commissioner of Police expresses his resentment at this cheap shot by Stabroek News and wishes to advise Ms. Zoisa Fraser not to allow herself to be pressured into unprofessional behaviour.
