The CARICOM Secretariat has awarded Landell Mills a new contract to review the Regional Security Institutions of the Community as part of its restructuring effort. Addressing the regional security and crime concerns is a key part of the Secretariat’s restructuring agenda. A team of consultants from Landell Mills comprising Team Leader, Richard Stoneman; Management Consultant, Professor Justice Duke Pollard; and Jurist and Financial Management Expert Hugh Inniss, last Friday, met with Minister of Home Affairs Clement Rohee at his ministry in Brickdam, and engaged in a discussion pertaining to these security issues.
According to the Government Information Agency, Minister Rohee told the team that the ministry stands ready to facilitate and engage them towards any initiative that seeks to augment its services and that of the Secretariat’s.
He said security matters that the consultant team seeks to address are also of concern for the ministry and that whilst the discussion would reveal areas of commonality and divergence, emphasis must also be placed on giving focus to the areas on commonality thus enabling national perspectives over regional ones. The ministry is prepared to engage in the discussions to ensure that the country’s interest is represented in formulating a response to the region’s security concerns, Rohee added.
Landell Mills will review the regional security institutions of the CARICOM community, clarifying their role in delivering under the regional security agenda.
On conclusion of the review, Landell Mill’s team will make the necessary recommendations to the Secretariat.
