President Dr Irfaan Ali today challenged officers of the Guyana Police Force (GPF) to get fit, noting that “when people see the Guyana Police Force, they must see strength, fitness.”
The Head of State underscored the importance of fitness, highlighting that all public schools will now move to dedicate Friday afternoons to physical education classes.
In this regard, he said the members of the GPF must lead by example. He also pointed out that it is for their own health.
“I care about you…I want you to live long, productive lives. I want you to live long after your retirement so you can enjoy your pension,” the president said.
As such, he said “those who are doing protection service, you ain’t gotto sit down in a hut, walk with a skipping rope…you ain’t gotto sit down for eight hours; every hour, do five minutes of skipping”.
