Private business in a government office
Dear Editor,
I would like to bring to the attention of the Prime Minister a matter of concern towards his office in Region Six.
A few days back my aunt asked me to accompany her to the Prime Minister’s Office to lodge a complaint concerning some matters affecting her. I agreed and went with her, although I am not really interested in that office holder who only seems to serve a few in Region Six.
When we got there we were asked to have a seat and wait. There were quite a few others in the waiting area. So, we all started various conversations and shared ideas and so on. While deep in the conversations, many talked of the reason for being there.
Most of the persons waiting said that they came to the office to fill out their visa application forms.
I asked, Who does that here? The reply was that Mr. Harbhajan does that and people come daily to do it. In fact, one of the persons visited the office several times to do same with relatives.
I am so surprised that the Prime Minister’s office in Region Six, which is a government office is being used as personal business place by the Prime Minister’s Representative.
This begs for an investigation into the functioning of the Prime Minister’s Office and the work of the office holder, who by the way has a special guard dressed in brown and black.
This is total misused of public office. Why is it that taxpayers have to pay the rent, the bills, the Guyana Police Force, the PM Rep, etc. to do private business in a public office?
I hope the PM will ask for an investigation to be done, and we all know that the PM knows it’s happening, so he will ensure the investigation goes his rep way. Just like what happen at NCN Berbice with his AFC member that misused her office.
The people of Region Six are looking forward to hear the outcome of this matter.
Thank you.
