A release from the Commission said that with the two-month extension, all public hearings, interviews and public outreaches will close on May 15, 2018.
Submissions of memoranda and letters, and information from interested persons can be communicated to the Commission’s Secretariat, Department of Public Service, Ministry of the Presidency, located at Lot 146 Waterloo Street, Georgetown, no later than Tuesday May 15th, 2018.
