Even though he is no stranger to indulging in the delights of Guyana’s nightlife, Public Security Minister,Cheap China Jerseys, Khemraj Ramjattan remains adamant that the seemingly “unpopular” 2:00 am curfew is necessary and should not be relaxed.Public Security Minister, Khemraj RamjattanIn spite of his firm views, the politician had given Guyanese revelers a present during the Christmas season last year as he had extended the curfew by two hours.Another period of enjoyment and festivities is approaching—The Celebration of Guyana’s 50th Independence.Members of the Diaspora who are returning to be part of the occasion of unity and even those of the business community have their fingers crossed in hopes that Ramjattan would repeat another act of kindness.Last week, the Minister of Public Security said that while he will continue to “stick to his guns” on the matter, he will keep an open mind.Ramjattan said, “I would want a collective decision to be made on this matter.
