MINISTER of Public Security, Mr Khemraj Ramjattan on Monday hosted a security meeting with officials from the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) at his office. 

Among IDB officials in attendance was Country Representative, Ms Sophie Makonnen.
It is expected that the meeting would have addressed financing to improve Guyana’s security architecture, and the outcome of previous programmes financed by the IDB.
In February this year, Guyana benefitted from a US$15M loan that was intended to be utilized on the Citizens’ Security programme. At the time, the APNU and AFC had raised concerns over the signing of the loan, given that Parliament was prorogued.
Over the years, the IDB has been a constant source of financing for security improvement programmes in Guyana. (GINA)
