Guyana’s Public Service – a Human Resources Pandemic
DEAR EDITOR,
Across 19 identified Ministries and 10 Regional Administrations is a recorded total of 39,218 public servants constituted of the following categories.
MINISTRIES REGIONS
1 Administrative 1427 2347
2 Senior Technical 2074 4419
3 Other Technical and Craft Skilled 3276 3538
4 Clerical and Office Support 6651 631
5 Semi-Skilled and Unskilled Operatives 2729 2950
Sub-Total 16157 13885
Plus 6 Contracted Employees 8734 442
who can be appointed to any category.
Somehow their employers who constitute the authority to protect all from the current insurgence seem to have overlooked the need for distancing amongst: 7282 Clerical and Support Staff, while omitting to appreciate the need for Personal Protective Equipment at least for the Semi-skilled and Unskilled category of 5679 – any of whom if infected can transmit to both co-worker and family – for which there is no lock-down?
Should not there be a strategic plan coordinated to focus on preventing infection in the respective agencies?
E.B. John
