Kindly bear with us as we transition
Dear Editor,
Please permit me to respond to a letter which appeared on page 4, of the Friday, February 1, 2013 edition of your newspaper under the caption “Drivers finding GRA difficult to access”.
According to the letter, the writer Ms. Nadia Burke, while trying to access the services of the Guyana Revenue Authority (GRA)’s new headquarters on Camp Street, encountered some difficulties with parking.
In the letter, Ms Burke noted the fact that she had to leave her vehicle unattended close to Church Street as that was the closest available parking area.
On behalf of the GRA, I would like to publicly go on record and apologize to Ms Burke, and all other taxpayers, who may have faced similar occurrences, for the inconvenience caused.
We at the GRA understand your frustrations and are currently working assiduously to ensure that this matter is resolved as soon as possible.
To this end, the GRA, with the support of the Government of Guyana, is currently in the process of acquiring several locations in the environs of its new headquarters to facilitate orderly and secured parking for its valued taxpayers.
It is expected that the proposed parking lots and areas will significantly alleviate the aforementioned nuisance that is not only being experienced by well over seven hundred (700) GRA officers that will be occupying the building by the end of February 2013, but also the many hundred members of the public who visit GRA’s offices for various transactions on a daily basis.
These new parking lots and designated areas for parking, once acquired and prepared in a suitable manner, will offer options to our stakeholders and will be equipped with trained security personnel.
Like every new venture, the GRA has faced problems with the transition from several locations around Georgetown, to consolidate all of its operations into one single location.
It is believed that this consolidation will reap many benefits to the taxpaying public in the months and years to come.
In this regard, we humbly ask for the continued patience and support of the taxpaying public as we transition.
Khurshid Sattaur
Commissioner-General
