Assembly.
The President issued the instrument of appointment to Gilgeours, who has been acting in the capacity of Deputy Clerk since the retirement of former Deputy Clerk, Lilawtie Coonjah, in May 2013.
“Ms. Gilgeours is one of Guyana’s longest serving parliamentary staff, who joined the work of the National Assembly on August 4, 1997. At the commencement of her tenure, she was employed as Clerk II General. She also held the positions of Research and Analytical Assistant and Assistant Clerk of the National Assembly,” a statement from the Parliament Office said yesterday.
According to a “grateful” Gilgeours, she is extremely grateful for an opportunity to serve Guyana at such a high level.
“I express my sincere gratitude to God, His Excellency the President of Guyana, the Speaker of the National Assembly, the Clerk of the National Assembly, who has been my mentor, Members of Parliament, who have encouraged me in their own special way, my family and my friends. I am thankful for the confidence they have expressed in me to carry out the functions of this office. I have always enjoyed good relations with other parliamentary staff and I am looking forward to their continued support.”
Clerk of the National Assembly, Sherlock Isaacs, in an invited comment disclosed that Gilgeours has been attached to the Parliament for a number of years, gaining a wealth of experience in Parliamentary administration.
“She is proficient and efficient in her work and the work she produces is always of a high standard. I will continue to work with her closely with respect to parliamentary procedures, among other things, until I am ready to demit office in the not too distant future, I hope.”
The newly appointed Deputy Clerk is the holder of a Bachelor’s Degree in Public Management and is currently pursuing her Master’s Degree in Public Administration.
