Jagdeo dismantling Guyana Defence Force - Coast Guard Commander Gary Best next Chief of Staff
President Bharrat Jagdeo has proposed a major shake-up in the hierarchy of the Guyana Defence Force (GDF) which would sidestep four senior officers including, Colonel Lawrence Paul, and elevate four others with Commander Gary Best of the Coast Guard tipped to become the next Chief of Staff.
The source added that this new move by the President would upset the customs and traditions of the force, which allowed for one to be promoted based upon seniority. “When you take one from a lower rank and make him senior to those who are there before him you are bound to cause confusion and raise the levels of expectations among other ranks,” the source said.
“Our traditions, customs and foundations have all gone out of the door and this will certainly cause internal turmoil,” the source said adding that the move is unprecedented in this part of the world.
the questions remains, will the now overthrow this elected, criminal dictatorship?
