Rohee further noted that the fees were tailored with consideration given for the three types of individuals usually given priority for gun licenses.“We (former PPP Government) adopted as a matter of policy that we would give priority to three categories of persons involved in three sectors,” he said. “These were the farmers, the Amerindians and the business people.”“For years those fees were never increased,” Rohee said. “Raising revenues by raising the fees for licensing is a lazy way to raise revenue.

All that was left to be done was to take these regulations to parliament for acceptance.”“Now there was a debate about whether these regulations required the approval or non-approval of parliament,” he continued. “As far as I can recall, it did not require the approval of the parliament, all that was required was for them to be laid in the house. I would like to know where Ramjattan is now in respect to this matter.”He said this in light of expectations that the new regulations would bring a greater degree of orderliness and detail to the firearm application process.
