`People are all asking for consultancies where they can go to super level salaries. So, there is a disconnect there’
Minister of Public Works, Juan Edghill has told the Guyanese diaspora that while there is a need for skilled persons to boost the economy, they must come with the understanding that the salaries won’t be the same.
Edghill was speaking yesterday at the Multi-Stakeholders Meeting on Guyana’s Labour Needs hosted by The Diaspora Unit of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation at the Arthur Chung Conference Centre in Liliendaal, Georgetown.
The aim of the discussion was to understand how the diaspora could contribute to Guyana’s transformative development. The Ministry wants to do this by effectively engaging the Guyanese diaspora and recruiting skills which are needed in both the public and private sectors.
