The 2018 Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between the Ministry of Education and the GTU to activate a 2011 revolving fund for teachers’ housing  has been declared not “legally enforceable” by the Office of the Solicitor General.

The information was contained in the March 11th, 2022 Treasury Memorandum (TM) issued by the Ministry of Finance and circulated in the National Assembly on Wednesday last. The Treasury Memorandum was in response to the report of the Public Accounts Committee of Parliament on the Public Accounts of Guyana for the year 2015.
