Smells like a conspiracy

Nov 05, 2013 Letters

Dear Editor,
The Ministry of Finance, for the purpose of convenience I’m sure, has placed a loan division on the University of Guyana, Turkeyen campus. However, the services offered there bring the opposite to mind. Every year during the loan period students distress at the thought of just having to deal with the department as it takes a miracle and a prayer to go through the process smoothly.
The document that has the most issues is the Guarantor’s Affidavit. You would think that by now a government organization, in light of all technology, would have drafted a sample copy of how to fill the form and made it available online as well as posted up in the office. Instead, they paste up their lunch and working hours.
What is more baffling is that when they send students to do over the affidavit they keep the erred one, and I presume it must only be for one of these two reasons, as it is of no use to the loan:
1. The number of erred copies serves as an internal joke, as to how many times they made one person punish through the process.
2. For students to make another mistake yet again.
Why not give the students the erred form with the highlighted mistakes so they would not make them again. The only fathomable answer is that they are working in collusion with the University of Guyana bursary department to ensure as many students as possible pay the “late fee” on their completion of registration by dragging out the process for as long as possible.
Students are in utter disgust of this department. Either they are highly incompetent or it’s a conspiracy. I am sure I speak for all loan students when I say, we need a change.
