Culture, Youth and Sport Minister Charles Ramson, who is an attorney-at-law, has warned that Guyana must never become a country where witnesses are afraid to speak, as he called for the protection of the justice system amid concerns surrounding a gunfire incident at the home of a senior Police Officer involved in ongoing extradition proceedings against United States (US)-sanctioned and indicted Opposition Leader Azruddin Mohamed and his father, Nazar Mohamed.

In a statement posted on his social media page, Ramson said no amount of wealth or influence should be allowed to undermine the country’s institutions or compromise the administration of justice.
