The Guyana Police Force has launched an investigation into an alleged assassination plot against the President of Guyana, David Granger, during one of his outreaches.
This was confirmed by State Minister, Joseph Harmon on Thursday during the Post Cabinet press briefing.
According to Harmon, the investigation has reached a stage where advice is now being sought for the police legal advisors; however he refrained from disclosing more information as to the identities of the suspect/s.
“Since this is one of these on-going investigations, I don’t think that we’re at liberty to disclose in any greater details, the nature of that investigation,” he said.
Nevertheless, he expressed full confidence in the security forces to protect the President as well as all Government officials from the misguided.
“It is important that we understand that while we have a very popular president, that people all around this country love him and embrace him, [and] and that sometimes there are some people who are misguided.”
This newspaper understands that the threats to have the President assassinated have been circulating for approximately two weeks now.
