PNC/R Congress set for June 28 – 30
Police seize 40 guns as of mid-April
gun-related crimes.
But despite the situation, Benn noted the ministry will not be conducting a gun amnesty programme.
“The situation about gun crimes and holding and having illegal guns, we are not going to doing any amnesty.
“Those who have guns (illegal) should walk into the nearest police station and give them up or put them somewhere. You are not supposed to have them.
“If you have an illegal gun, pass by the police station, put it in a bag and throw it in the yard,” Benn told reporters.
According to him, the authorities are “thoroughly” against the possession of illegal firearms which is said to be linked to drug and criminal activities.
Subsequently, Vice President Dr. Bharrat Jagdeo said the government is not considering any amnesty for persons who have illegal guns in their possession but it wants to step up enforcement efforts.

“We saw numbers that were unbelievable. Everybody wanted to know what was happening…especially the Harbour Bridge,” Managing Director of Pixels Guyana Inc, Leonard Gildarie said on Friday.
Currently, the Pixels Guyana has a total of 11 cameras set up at Diamond, both ends of the Demerara Harbour Bridge, Houston, Schoonard, Vreed-en-Hoop, DSL junction, Mandela Avenue and Sheriff Street Railway embankment.
The latest two were added as UG Road and Mon Repos, East Coast Demerara.
The cameras capture live traffic in these areas and can be accessed via the website. There is also an app which allows users to access footage from their mobile devices.
The modern technology enables commuters to plan ahead and monitor the traffic on a 24/7 basis to avoid traffic congestions.
“I know a lot of people are tuned into our traffic cams. These are traffic cams that are centered on particular choke points across the country especially on the East Bank, West Bank and on the East Coast now,” Gildarie told the News Room during an interview on Friday.
All of the cameras are powered by free internet provided exclusively by ENet.
“We could not have those cameras out there without ENet coming onboard…We are extremely grateful for this project which has allowed this project to be rolled out to the people of Guyana,” Gildarie said as he spoke about the impact of the partnership.
Over the last year, there were 18 million hits in viewership.

“It means that people have a need for it and they are actually using the cameras which is more important for us…So it’s a key tool,” Gildarie said.
“We have limited memory or how long we store. We just have maybe 24-48 hours and after that it just rolls over. But definitely…we have caught many accidents, some of them very tragic but the police have been using us and we have been giving them footage of what we have on those cameras,” Gildarie explained.
The cameras are monitored from a mobile device which is used to switch angles and carry out other functions.
