Press Statement
The People’s Progressive Party (PPP) is greatly disturbed at the execution style killing of one of Guyana’s most renowned contractors, Mr. Gazz Sheermohamed. The Party wishes to extend its deepest sympathy to the family and friends of the late Gazz Sheermohamed.
While the police are investigating the murder and are still to determine a motive, what is troubling is the atmosphere that is existing that makes acts like these possible.
It is not helped by the protests of the PNCR and their threats of violence both at their demonstrations and at their public meetings. Moreover contractors have been singled out by the opposition for vicious attacks and intimidation.
The PPP urges all political parties and media houses to exercise restraints and to do nothing that would lead to tensions and in which any group could be targeted.
The PPP condemns this latest outrage and urges the law enforcement agencies to leave no stone unturned in trying to bring the killers to justice and enhance the overall safety and security of all Guyanese.
