MINISTER of Home Affairs Mr. Clement Rohee yesterday met with members of the Diplomatic Corps to discuss their concerns and interests regarding the new Strategic Security Action Plan which was launched on December 31. The meeting was held at the Foreign Service Institute, Shiv Chanderpaul Drive and Minister Rohee emphasised that he thought it would be useful to narrow the various audiences since the initial audience, at the plan’s launch, was large and each group has differing interests regarding the plan.
“The Diplomatic Corps in Guyana, I consider to be a stakeholder in the security concerns of our country because there are some who are members of the donor community, and they contribute and would have an interest,” Minister Rohee said.
The minister indicated that he also intends to meet with the private sector. “I do believe that having read the press releases in support of the announcements that were made that we have a lot in common with the private sector. That however, does not mean that we should not meet in a more ‘particularised’ manner to discuss their interests with them,” he pointed out.
Minister Rohee emphasised that this will be the case with other partners whom the Ministry intends to work with, with respect to the plan’s implementation.
The Guyana Police Force (GPF), renamed the Guyana Police Service stands to benefit from the five-year (2013-2017) plan, implementation of which will cost approximately $35M annually. It will see the establishment of a Strategic Management Department which will have oversight for the Plan’s implementation, and the employment of 10 high-level civilian professionals in non-line positions within the Force. This will ensure a high degree of professional, technical and efficient inputs to guarantee implementation of the plan.
Additionally, with the implementation of the Strategic Plan, the UK-based Capita-Symonds Consultancy will be contracted to focus on four specific, but critical areas in the Force, namely administration, succession planning, integrity/probity (professionalism) and public relations and communication.
The strategic plan for the Force was drawn up by Capita-Symonds Consultancy in 2010, while the implementation plan was made by U.S.- based Julian Laite Consultancy in February, 2012.
The implementation of the four areas for the GPF is expected to involve IPOs as consultants whilst the contractual agreement itself will require the procurement of highly qualified specialists. The first phase of this consultancy is expected to last four to six weeks, beginning in January 2013 and will cost about $25M.
Several civilians are set to benefit from the implementation of the strategic plan as it will create employment for 60 Data Entry Clerks to input data generated by the Integrated Crime Information System (ICIS) facilitated at 42 police stations. (GINA)
