[www.inewsguyana.com] – Presidential Advisor on National Security, Brigadier Edward Collins is in support of the decision taken by the Guyana Revenue Authority (GRA) to close the operations of the Berbice Anti-Smuggling Squad (BASS).
Brigadier Collins, who just concluded a four-day outreach in Regions Five and Six to assess the security resources in those regions, said that BASS was merely duplicating the efforts of GRA’s law enforcement arm and often operated contrary to the mandate of the revenue body.
During the outreach, the Presidential Advisor visited several police stations and engaged with senior ranks within B’ Division and its sub-divisions, the traffic department and the CID.
“It was a very worthwhile visit and I am convinced that there are men and women in the Guyana Police Force that are committed to the fight against crime. They have put forward workable solutions and with the support of the Presidency there will be improvements,” Brigadier Collins said.
He also noted that he was particularly heartened by Commander Christopher Griffith’s plan to resuscitate inactive Community Policing Groups (CPGs) and to lend more support to the active ones. This, he said, is a sure way of bridging whatever gaps may exist between the police and residents. The Region has a total of 89 CPGs in the region, 28 of which are currently inactive.

So now Mr Sellout Naggamootoo is a rubberstamp Primeminister with Harmon in charge and a disable security minister in Ramjattan is nodding off in his office,what some people can do for a little power,a bunch of rubberstamps.
please understand that he is the Advisor to the President and not the minister. Every Head has his various advisors, who helps them to make informed decisions and give instructions to their ministers. Just remember what K Mc Coy’s post was.
One Public Security Minister and one National Security Advisor. But is is a question worth pondering since he will be reporting his findings to the President and not the Public Security Minister.
How many public security minister Guyana has?????
