Captain Gerry Gouveia, Managing Director of the Roraima Group of Companies, and apparently drug enforcement officer has called on the government to clarify a recent charge that drugs and people may have been smuggled through the VIP and Executive Lounge facilities at the Cheddi Jagan International Airport, Timehri (CJIA).
At his post- Cabinet news briefing last week, Dr.Roger Luncheon, Cabinet Secretary said that there had been reports of non-conformity with the established rules governing the use of the facilities over a period of time which may have resulted in “ events that impinge on security, Custom and Immigration operations.” He added that a report pointed out that there may be a lack of cohesion in the roles played by those law en forcement officials, resulting in some amount of exploitation.
At a news briefing yesterday, Gouveia (jack of all trades) whose consortium operates the Roraima Executive Lounge at the CJIA, said the statement had created a measure of unease among the various service providers at the airport and prompted his call for more clarity on the Cabinet secretary’s statement.
“ Accordingly, and apart from calling on Dr. Luncheon to issue an appropriate clarification on this matter immediately, the management of the Roraima Group wishes to state publicly that all persons utilizing the Roraima Executive Lounge are, as a matter of course, subjected to the various security routines and procedures that apply to anyone using the airport.”Jack of all Trades said that it was incumbent on the authorities to thoroughly investigate the claim and to apply the necessary corrective security measures. source
