My intention then was not to create moral panic, but to let it be known that it was a picture which shamed us all, and we had to do something, like renewing the war on drugs licit and illicit.“The call was made that we had to have a strategy within a year, a Master Plan. I am proud to say we have such a strategy here today.”Presentations were also made by Crime Chief Wendell Blanhum, Head of the Customs Anti Narcotics Unit (CANU) James Singh, and the Guyana Revenue Authority’s Fitzroy Corlette.The presentations by the Crime Chief and the head of CANU indicated that drugs from Guyana were being transshipped to every continent.The launching was chaired by Major General (Retd.)
