I received no hearing or notification of any allegation of wrongdoing

Aug 05, 2019 Letters

DEAR EDITOR,
I note a statement by the Department of Social Cohesion, Culture, Youth and Sport, Ministry of the Presidency, dated August, 2, 2019, which partially addressed a directive from the Public Service Commission (PSC) for me to proceed on administrative leave.
The statement claimed, inter alia, that “Ms. Carmichael was afforded due process to the fullest extent of the public service rules and regulations.” This claim is utterly false and misleading.
No one from the Department of Social Cohesion, Culture, Youth and Sport, Ministry of the Presidency, or the PSC has ever discussed any allegation of wrong doing with me. I was never spoken to, or written to, about any allegation of wrong doing whatsoever. I was never afforded a hearing to discuss or defend myself against any allegation of wrong doing.
I merely received a correspondence from the PSC dated April 26, 2019 directing me to proceed on administrative leave. I was not provided with any evidence that led to this action. To date, I do not know the reason for this directive.
I committed no wrongdoing and therefore deny any allegation against me.
Yours sincerely,
Melissa Carmichael
