Who’s in charge of the GPF?
Monday, 02 August 2010

Dear Editor,

I refer to your article of Friday 30th July on Pages3 and 11 concerning a police woman who refused to be obstructed in the performance of her duties by not taking a cell phone call from a high judicial functionary when she was investigating an incident. This police woman has been condemned and denigrated by the Commissioner of Police without a hearing in a tendentious attempt to defend the indefensible behaviour of the high judicial functionary. The report raises many unanswered questions which the public ought to know and not be left to guess or surmise who is the high judicial functionary? Was that person a High Court Judge, the Chief Justice or even the Chancellor himself? It is not fair to any of these functionaries to be condemned unjustly.

Was the police woman taken to this deified judicial functionary by a high ranking police officer of the Guyana Police Force (GPF) and if so on whose instructions and for what purpose? If so the public has a right to know who was that police officer and on what authority or law he acted? Does the Commissioner of Police agree that the ranking police officer had no authority to initiate and conduct the procedure to take the police woman to the high judicial functionary? Was the police woman’s liberty not unlawfully restrained by the police officer during the time she was taken to this deified functionary until she left his presence?
Even more bothersome, the public should know who initiated the request for the police woman to be taken to the high judicial functionary. Was it on the functionary’s request or instruction?
Who is in charge of the police? The public should demand an independent enquiry or at least one from the Police Complaints Authority into the foregoing matter which goes to the core values of the Guyana Police Force.

The Mark Benschop Foundation was officially launched in March 2008 by its founder and chairman Mark Benschop and other concerned Guyanese and well wishers in the United States of America. What started as a small operation geared toward helping those in need has grown so large that they were forced to move their offices to a whole building in East Street where the vast amount of people responding to their generosity  could be accommodated.
