President of the Minibus and Hire Car Association (MBHCA) in Region Two (Pomeroon-Supenaam) Mohamed Nazemul has lauded the efforts made by the new Commander Khali Pareshram and Essequibo Magistrate Sunil Scarce in restoring fairness to the justice system in the region.
During an interview with Guyana Times, Nazemul pointed out that since the new Commander took office, the attitudes of Police have changed in a positive way towards the public, as citizens can now approach ranks with ease. In the past, most persons were afraid of victimisation whenever they wanted to make a report, he added.

He also commended Pareshram’s efforts in helping to fight crime within G Division (Essequibo Coast-Islands).
With regards to the judicial system, Nazemul lauded the efforts of Magistrate Sunil Scare, who he opined had done a “good job” in helping to curb drunk driving in the Division, and who has demonstrated “fairness” in his rulings.
Statistics released from the Division show a 40 per cent reduction in accidents as compared to last year.
In addition, the President of MBHCA highlighted that the executive recently met with the Commander and officers from the Traffic Department, to discuss several issues which included driving under the influence, stray cattle, double parking in front of business places, traffic congestion, speeding and overloaded minibuses.
The Commander, he added, promised the team to follow up on the issues as well as implement measures to deal with them. Crime in the Division has also declined by 23 per cent.
