A Partnership for National Unity (APNU) at a recent press briefing accused the PPP/C Government of being complacent towards corruption and crime hence the reason there is sloth in putting the steps in place to facilitate the passage of the Anti Money Laundering legislation as well as fighting the narcotics trade and security locally.Leader of the Opposition David GrangerOpposition leader David Granger stated that government knows of the criminal elements who launder money, as well as those involved in drug trafficking, but have been reluctant to do anything over the years dating back “throughout the reign of President Jagdeo.”“The government probably has a good idea who is involved in laundering money and the government has no intention of stopping it.” In reiterating his point, Granger made reference to drug trafficking stating that “government does not have an anti narcotics control plan at present, it expired in 2011, so for two years we have not had an anti narcotics plan.”The Opposition leader listed examples which he says highlight a pattern of approach the government has towards several issues he sees affecting Guyana significantly. According to Granger “the Government of Guyana signed a security sector action plan with the Government of the United Kingdom and then refused to implement it. “A multibillion dollar programme the government refused to implement… that’s the security sector reform plan” Granger reiterated.According to Granger,China NFL Jerseys, the government also had a National Drug Strategy Master plan which it never implemented, “it has lapsed and it has up to now not been able to implement a new National Drug Strategy Master plan.”He continued to outline that “the government had the Anti Money Laundering and Countering of Financing of Terrorism Act (AML/CFT) for four years, even if we wanted to trace it back to thirteen years it has never been fully implemented so the pattern is emerging.”That pattern he states is that “the government is tolerant of certain crimes even though we know that there are armed robberies taking place in Guyana every day.”Granger explained that government’s attempt to implement a security plan through the Home Affairs Minister Clement Rohee was not adequate to suit its purpose. According to Granger “there’s no security sector reform plan in action,Cheap Jerseys Free, Mr. Rohee announced a plan on the 31st of December last year,Wholesale China Jerseys, a plan that is committed to public relations,Cheap Soccer Jerseys Authentic, administer reform and officer career planning. The private sector is saying that the APNU must support that. Support what? It doesn’t stop armed robbery,Cheap NFL Jerseys China, it doesn’t stop piracy, it doesn’t stop banditry and it doesn’t stop drug smuggling. So the plan that he announced on the 31st of December last year nobody is talking about it now because they know it’s a bogus plan.”He stated that for this reason the AML/CFT was not passed among other policies geared towards development.? “So you may ask the same question why does the government not have an anti narcotics trafficking plan and smuggling is taking place?. The government knows or it says it knows who is doing the smuggling and has no intention of going after the big fish… The point I’m making is that the government is quite aware of the criminal nature of enterprises taking place and is content not to do anything” said Granger.
