– Backer says – “He’s a bolts and nuts man”Home Affairs Minister Clement RoheeSticking to its position that Minister of Home Affairs, Clement Rohee is not what is best for improved security in Guyana, A Partnership for National Unity (APNU) has now condemned the most recent allegation against the Minister—that he is micromanaging.Just recently,Cheap Jerseys From China Online, senior officers of the Guyana Police Force accused Rohee of direct interference with the management of the force,NFL Jerseys Outlet, while complaining of the continued implementation of reduced annual leave for senior officers.In 2011, no leave was granted to Assistant Commissioners in order to facilitate the provision of proper security for General Elections that year.The following year,NFL Jerseys China, the Home Affairs Minister advised that due to the political situation in the country following the elections, officers will only be granted 21 days leave.However, when the officers applied for their leave this year, they were told that the position remains the same.Kaieteur New understands that, although a part of the officers’ leave has been deferred, there is no attempt by the Ministry to pay them in lieu.In was made clear by officers speaking to this newspaper that they prefer the leave than the money.Commenting about the situation, APNU shadow Minister of Foreign Affairs and former shadow Minister of Home Affairs, Debra Backer has labeled Rohee a “bolts and nuts man.”Backer said that Rohee is supposed to be setting policies and dealing with the bigger issues but “chooses to look at the little things, because that is the level he is at.”The Member of Parliament told media operatives at a recent APNU press conference that the party still, “sadly but genuinely”, feels that security in Guyana will never significantly improve under Minister Rohee.She said that the APNU has been accused of “encouraging criminals,” just by taking the stance not to support Rohee and any legislation he takes before the assembly—despite its merit—but noted that the party will not budge from that position.“Rohee really don’t know what he is doing; long ago—during the time when I was shadow Minister of Home Affairs—we were saying that the name of the Guyana Police Force needs to be changed to the Guyana Police Service, since the organization is there to provide a service and not force; but years later,Wholesale Jerseys Online, he brings the legislation,” noted Backer.She said instead of doing the aforementioned, the Minister dabbles in “the smaller things like officers’ leave and the community policing group.”In April last year, senior officers of the Force expressed a loss of confidence in the Minister over his remarks that he intends to “kick ass,” during this his second term as the political head of the country’s law enforcement agencies. Both The Association of Police Officers and the Police Association had expressed their intention to respond in writing to the Minister.Rohee had told a gathering that included mainly members of Community Policing Groups that he has learnt a lot from his first term as minister which began in 2006.He stated that his first term as Home Affairs Minister was more or less a feeling-out process.“These five years, I intend to kick ass…to put it bluntly…because I know people waiting outside there to kick my ass,” the Home Affairs Minister stated.He had issued a stern warning which was directly pointed at the Guyana Police Force.“The police haven’t really seen me get upset as yet, but in this new term I intend to get upset…because after this new term, that’s it for me,” Rohee had declared.Following the fallout, the two sides met and mended their differences after clarifications were made.However, the situation seems to be resurfacing with recent moves by the Minister.The officers cite his recent announcement that he has given specific instructions to the Commissioner on the question of dealing with two cases of noise nuisance.According to one officer,China Jerseys Wholesale, the police have adequate and sufficient law enforcement powers under the music and dancing licences act and the summary jurisdiction offences act and therefore do not need the Minister to instruct anyone on the course of action to be taken.Additionally, the police have benefitted from legal advice from the DPP on issues relating to entertainment places.“What instruction has he given?
