Georgetown : Second Vice President and Minister of Public Security Khemraj Ramjattan hosted a security meeting with officials from the Inter-American Development Bank at his office yesterday. The Inter-American Development Bank Country Representative Sophie Makonnen attended.

It is expected that the meeting would have addressed financing to improve Guyana’s security architecture and outcomes of previous programmes financed by the IDB.

In February this year, Guyana benefited from a US$15M loan that was intended to be utilized on the Citizens’ Security programme. At the time, the APNU and AFC had raised concerns over the signing of the loan given that the Parliament was prorogued.  

Over the years, the IDB has been a constant source of financing for security improvement programmes in Guyana.
