Chamber pleads again to Govt, police

FOR the second time in as many days, the Chamber of Industry and Commerce is calling for the police and Government to do their respective parts to ensure citizens can proceed with their lawful business without fear of any criminal element.

The Chamber said it was unfortunate it had to issue a second consecutive statement on the spate of crime. But the attempted kidnapping of Barataria businessman John Sam Chee, the shooting of his son, Sean, and the slaying of  “small businessman” Soodesh Sawh, which all occurred on Tuesday night, were dreaded reminders that the “battle is far from over.” The Chamber said zero tolerance for crime, strict adherence of our laws, the elimination of illegal guns and the quick passage of criminals through the legal system must be enforced as this  was the only way to gain the upper hand against those who intend to destroy our way of life.
