Look, let's not beat about the bush. This new strategy plan is being drafted in order to reduce the number of drugs interceptions by the police.
There has been a good response by the police lately as far as thwarting the drugs smugglers are concerned. This is obviously putting a massive dent in the finances of the PPP. They cannot after all blame the PNC and AFC for the success in the fight against drugs smuggling. That would be like shooting the PPP regime in the foot. So other ways are being developed that would put the police back in its fight against the PPP drugs barons. In case you wonder why the PPP would wish to undermine the police, the facts are out there. The police has long been seen by the PPP regime as a support base of the PNC. Every time a PPP high flyer get put under pressure by the police you hear it is the PNC that is giving the order. When the police do a massive drugs bust you hear whispers of a PNC attempt to play dirty with the PPP.
But you never see a Guyanese minister standing proudly next to the drugs haul shaking the hands of the police officers who did the bust. Thieves never thank the police for catching them.
