Head of the Presidential Secretariat, Dr. Roger Luncheon said the Guyana Police Force (GPF) is in possession of the computer that was found when the Guyana Defence Force (GDF) discovered an arms cache and sensitive equipment in a pick-up vehicle at Good Hope, East Coast Demerara last week.

Allegations are that officials of the Government are aware of the purchase and use of the computer that was found in the vehicle.

At a media briefing held yesterday in the Seminar Room of the Foreign Service Institute, Dr. Luncheon said, “The People’s Progressive Party/Civic (PPP/C) Administration is not aware of any transaction that led to the purchase, importation and use of this equipment that was described”.

He added, “We do not know how this equipment came into Guyana. We do not know how this equipment came into operation in Georgetown and in Guyana”.

The Cabinet Secretary explained that the Guyana Police Force and its leading Officials have confirmed that they are in possession of equipment that is similar.

Dr. Luncheon said he is aware that a variety of opinions and concerns are being expressed about criminal behaviours, like the Buxton saga and the discovery of the equipment. However, he would merely say that they are part and parcel of other forms of criminality, “which have gripped the nation”.
