An alleged plot to assassinate Guyana’s President David Granger is now the subject of a Commission of Inquiry.
Yesterday, Assistant Commissioner of Police Paul Slowe was sworn in as the lead commissioner before Chief Magistrate Ann Mc Lennan.
According to Demerara Online News, the Commission which includes five other people has been mandated to investigate and review the full range of the Guyana Police Force’s actions and responses to the reports and the extent to which such actions were conducted or executed with due diligence.
The senior police official is expected to inquire into the persons, places, time, circumstances and events by and through which allegations came to be made of an intention or a plan to assassinate the president.
On April 20, Minister of State Joseph Harmon told journalists that the alleged plot was being investigated. It came on the heels of reports in March that a 7 million Guyana dollars bounty, to shoot at President Granger during one of his public outreaches, had reportedly been paid.
