THE Ministry of Home Affairs maintained, yesterday, that there has been no change in the annual vacation leave for senior officers of the Guyana Police Force (GPF).
A press release, from the ministry, said the stipulated time for the senior officers’ leave is 42 days and it remains the same. The ministry was clarifying statements made in an article published in the Kaieteur News of Friday, June 22, 2012, under the caption ‘Snr. Police Officers’ Annual Leave slashed in half’.
The release said that, because of the extant circumstances, it was considered prudent to facilitate the officers’ annual leave in tranches during the year, in order to ensure that an adequate number of senior management is available at short notice to address any unforeseen or unplanned events.
