Anyway, the government is responsible for providing security for the populace so any failure in controlling crime is a failure of the government.

Not easy to do when the police are on the side of the criminals.

Whatever the excuse, it is still a failure on the part of the government if crime is out of control. The PPP turning a blind eye to drug trafficking and the country becoming a Narco Republic is mostly responsible for the out of control crime we see today. Check out any Latin American country where drugs are prevalent and you'll see serious crime like we have in Guyana.

It is certainly the responsibility of the government to protect the citizens. However, I don't think that narco had anything to do with the crime spree following the jail break in 2002. It appeared that those criminals were staunchly supported by the PNC. It is also an undisputed fact that the Armed Forces in Guyana support the PNC so it is reasonable to suggest that they were more in collusion with the criminals than the government. The PPP couldn't lay off every police and soldier even though they didn't seen to follow their Commander or Chief's orders.

You don't think that narco trafficking had anything to do with a crime spree? Which planet are you living on? What do you think is causing crime to be exploding all over Latin America for the past few decades? Look for cocaine trafficking and you'll find serious crime like we've never experienced before. Do you think out of control crime in Trinidad, Barbados, Venezuela has anything to do with the collusion between the police and criminals? It's all about the Cocaine. I never saw any evidence of the Police being in collusion with the criminals. That's a bogus line of reasoning sold by the PPP to explain their failures. In any case, the government is still responsible for protecting its citizens. Lame excuses do not cut it.
