Fire the Commissioner of Police !! We need someone who can do something to stop this madness in Guyana. Why is no one doing anything to stop this insanity ? All you hear is the ‘bull…..” talk from the politicians and stats about that how crime in less.Don’t know but I seem to be hearing and seeing that more people are being murdered and robbed on a daily basis. We voted for a change with hope for betterment. We are seeing the same type of incompetence , maybe worse ??
The cake shop president –what do you expect from such a person —the man is a moron he wants ppl to come and invest so there will be more businesses and owners for the thugs to rob and kill.
And Pres.Granger recently said that Business people don’t need firearms to protect themselves…and businesses..the police will..now where are the Police in this case.
