Police promotion list not in President’s possession

President Donald RamotarGeorgetown: Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces and President of Guyana, Donald Ramotar disclosed that he has not received any list from the Police Service Commission (PSC) pertaining to the promotion of ranks.

According to the President, he did not receive the list and he was a little busy lately which caused him not to be able to check on the progress the PSC has made in finalising the list.

Asked if he was confident of receiving the list today, the President could not confirm, but assured this publication that he will be checking with the Commission with respect to the list.

The promotion of senior police ranks have been on the back burner for the past three years, which was due to the absence of the Police Service Commission. That Commission was however installed by the President on September 5, 2014 at the Office of the President and comprised five members including its Chairman.

They were named as Chairman Omesh Satyanand, and members, Lloyd Smith, Harold Martin, Keith John and Carvil Duncan.
