A statement from the Ministry of the Presidency follows:
When the Guyana Public Service Union celebrated its 92nd anniversary on Monday 8thJune 2015, H.E. President David Granger in his address to the union had promised to establish an inquiry into the conditions of service, wages, training, salaries and other issues of public servants; the government is keeping that promise.
Minister of State Joseph Harmon today revealed that the commissioners have already been identified to conduct a Commission of Inquiry (COI) into Guyana’s Public Service. He explained that President Granger will soon sign the instruments of commission, appointing the commissioners to “get the commission’s work started”.
Earlier today Friday 24th July 2015 Minister Harmon and a team visited a section of the Public Service Ministry where the actual hearings of the commission will take place. Even though preparatory works are still ongoing, Harmon predicts that those works will be completed soon as the intention is to have that commission begin hearings no later than August 2015.
