Former PPP MP’s home searched for drugs

The home of a longstanding member of the People’s Progressive Party was yesterday searched by the police for drugs.

Shirley Edwards, a former Member of Parliament (MP), was reportedly visited by armed ranks of the Guyana Police Force (GPF) who were acting on information about activities involving illegal drugs taking place on the premises at Lodge.

PPP Executive Member Gail Teixeira confirmed that the incident occurred and she dubbed it as another example of harassment being executed by the government against the PPP.
