Some members of Division of Marine Law Enforcement and seven officers assigned to Embassies have not taken the test and will do so after funding becomes available, said Vice President and Minister of Justice Raynold Oilouch.
The test is taken randomly and is conducted by a licensed private clinic. “The tests cost money and that it why not all are tested at this time,” stated Vice President Oilouch. VP assures that next funding will pay for the tests of those remaining officers.
Last month he led the first drug test with the chiefs of all the divisions of the Ministry of Justice.
Vice President Oilouch had emphasized zero tolerance for illegal drug use by anyone employed by the Ministry of Justice at the beginning of his term as Minister of Justice. [/restrict]
