Ministry of Home Affairs Refutes Misinformation Regarding Kwakwani Police Station

The Ministry of Home Affairs, under the leadership of Minister Hon. Robeson Benn, categorically refutes misleading claims circulating on social media concerning the Kwakwani Police Station.

Contrary to reports suggesting the station is being demolished one month after complete renovation, the Ministry assures the public that only a specific section is being addressed due to unforeseen structural concerns.

After rehabilitation work, including plumbing, carpentry, electrical upgrades, and new windows and gutters, it was discovered that the rear section of the building was sinking, compromising its structural integrity.

In response, the Ministry has taken swift action to demolish only the affected area. This will be followed by constructing a new extension and addition, ensuring the Kwakwani Police Station is safe, durable, and capable of serving the community well into the future.

The Ministry is committed to responsible management of public resources and the safety of all who use our facilities. The current works are a necessary response to structural challenges that could not have been anticipated prior to renovation. We assure the public that every effort is being made to address these issues efficiently and transparently.

The Ministry of Home Affairs remains dedicated to prudent financial management and the ongoing improvement of police infrastructure across Guyana.
