See below the full statement from the AFC:

The Alliance For Change (AFC) has noted reports in the media regarding the arrest of former AFC Member of Parliament, Mr. Devin Sears, and another individual in connection with the discovery of a quantity of suspected marijuana. We note that another individual who was in the vehicle with Mr. Sears has taken ownership of the suspected Marijuana, even as Sear remains in police custody.

While Mr. Sears is an active member of the AFC, the Party emphasizes that all persons are entitled to the presumption of innocence until proven guilty in a court of law. The AFC firmly believes in upholding the rule of law and due process and trusts that the relevant authorities will conduct a fair, transparent, and impartial investigation into the matter.

The Alliance For Change reiterates its unwavering commitment to integrity, accountability, and lawful conduct among all those who serve or have served under its banner. The Party does not condone any act that contravenes the laws of Guyana or undermines public trust.

We urge the public and the media to allow the judicial process to take its course and refrain from speculation that could prejudice the outcome of ongoing investigations. The AFC extends its support to Sears as he faces the challenges before him.
