The Guyana Police Force (GPF) has launched an investigation into allegations made by someone who purports to be Desmond Alli, the architect of the National Unity Monument, against a member of the Presidential Guard.
Alli, in a letter published in today’s Kaieteur News under the headline ‘President Ali instructs demolition of National Unity Monument’, claimed that a “Mr Liverpool”, acting on the instruction of the President, told him that the National Unity Monument is “to be demolished as it poses a threat to Guyana’s National Security.”
Ronford Liverpool, of the Presidential Guard, has vehemently denied having any interaction or conversation whatsoever with the purported letter-writer. In fact, Liverpool said he does not even know of a Desmond Alli, and as such, the allegations are “mischievous, misleading and out to create public mischief”.
Liverpool, through his supervisor Edgar Thomas, has since lodged a formal complaint this morning with the Guyana Police Force.
The GPF, taking cognizance of the allegations, has since launched an investigation into the matter.
