GUYANA: Inquiry into death squads clears home affairs minister
At the request of the entire cabinet, home affairs minister Ronald Gajraj resumed his ministerial duties on 11 April, following his exoneration by a presidential commission of inquiry into his alleged involvement in extra-judicial killings. The commission was set up in May last year to look into allegations that Gajraj was linked to a death squad, an allegation made in January by George Bacchus, a businessman who was murdered at his home in Georgetown later that year. Gajraj denied the charges and took leave of his office in order to facilitate an inquiry into the allegations.
