Sent home: CEO, Lelon Saul6
Kaieteur News understands that Saul received his letter of termination from the Ministry of Housing and Water, after he arrived at work yesterday morning.

Saul is a retired Lieutenant Colonel of the Guyana Defence Force (GDF) and also worked with the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP). He was appointed as CEO of the CH&PA in early 2017 by the previous Coalition government.
After receiving his letter of termination, Saul reportedly made a decision to leave the office since he was also due for leave.
In addition to Saul, Kaieteur News understands that several staffers of CH&PA’s procurement department have been sent home or sent to other departments.
