But for now, the cops are preparing to police the UDP protest set for Friday. As we told you, the opposition party will be outside the National Assembly during the House of Representatives meeting to protest the Social Security Board loan. And while this time they have a permit, the ComPol isn't anticipating any major disruptions.
Chester Williams, Commissioner of Police
"They have applied for permission to protest at the National Assembly on Friday. I have given instructions to approve the request. And as a department, as we normally do, yes, we are preparing for that."
"I don't anticipate that they are going to cause any issues with the police, I anticipate that it's going to be peaceful and we're going to work with them as we normally do."
We have learned that retired BDF soldiers, - disgruntled that they are not receiving their gratuity payments, also plan to protest on Friday.
