Police Commissioner, Gary Griffith, says recent articles regarding an incident involving Minister of Public Utilities, Robert Le Hunte, are false.

In a media release on Tuesday, Commissioner Griffith said he did receive a call from Minister Le Hunte following an interaction with officers assigned to the Traffic Branch, where he was advised of ongoing roadworks by the Ministry of Public Utilities in the vicinity of the Hyatt Regency, and that the placement of barriers in the said vicinity was insufficient to adequately block the movement of access into the work area.

According to Commissioner Griffith, Minister Le Hunte stated that there was no signage advising motorists to refrain from entering the area, and he requested for this to be remedied to ensure they did not incur a similar experience of turning into a widened gap. During this interaction with the Commissioner, the Minister further advised that one of the assigned officers had provided an incorrect identification number.

Commissioner Griffith, who said he was in the vicinity of the roadworks, visited the location after Minister Le Hunte had already left, and advised the officers of the need to restructure the gap so as to limit motorists from entering the closed-off workspace.

Officers were also reminded that they were in the service of all, and the provision of correct identification to members of the public is to be adhered to. Officers on the scene understood and agreed with the instructions.

Commissioner Griffith said at no time was there any issue with regard to Minister Le Hunte being on his mobile phone whilst driving, nor of charges being laid by the officers on duty.
