(Demerara Waves) – Efforts would have to be made to fill vacancies in the Police Service Commission (PSC), following the deaths of the Chairman and an ordinary commissioner, Minister of Parliamentary Affairs and Governance Gail Teixeira said on Monday.
“We’ll have to look at appointing additional people to the Commission so I am not sure the Commission with two people can function and make the decisions without at least the Chairman being there,” she said.
During consideration of estimates of expenditure for the GY$1.558 trillion dollar national budget, she said the PSC would not be meeting at this time because of the passing of PSC Chairman Patrick Findlay on January 30 and ordinary commissioner Lloyd Conway more than one year ago.
Ms Teixeira said another 645 members of the Guyana Police Force are expected to be promoted this year, based on vacancies, retirement or otherwise leaving that civilian law enforcement agency. “It could be more. It could be less,” she said.
