Senior Minister in the Office of the President with Responsibility for Finance Dr. Ashni Singh today visited the Brickdam Police Station as he continues performing the functions of Minister of Home Affairs in the absence of the substantive Minister, the Honourable Oneidge Walrond who is currently overseas on official duty.

Speaking during the visit to the modern edifice slated to be opened by the end of this year, Dr. Singh said the new building represents the investment made by President Irfaan Ali’s government in a modern, technologically equipped, intelligence-driven citizen-friendly police force.

“Notwithstanding that the genesis of the project lies in the loss of the old Brickdam Police Station by fire, its rebuilding in such an impressive manner was intended to convey an important statement- that our government places the highest importance on ensuring a modern and effective Guyana Police Force (GPF) and one that is committed to and capable of safeguarding the security and safety of the Guyanese people,” the Minister emphasized.
