Minister of Parliamentary Affairs and Governance, Gail Teixeira says that high-ranking public servants including Permanent Secretaries, Regional Executive Officers, Procurement Officers, and other technical persons and government agencies like the Ombudsman, must be held accountable to the citizens as they manage their affairs.
This, she posited, leads to “good governance and effective management of the systems which promotes equitable access, fairness, and transparency in Guyana.”
According to a release from the Department of Public Information (DPI), the minister made these remarks at the opening of the roundtable discussion, on ethical behaviour within the public service at the Pegasus Hotel in Kingston, Georgetown on Tuesday.
