CHPA outgoing CEO Myrna Pitt has served with distinction

Dear Editor,

I was saddened by the news that Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Central Housing and Planning Authority (CHPA), Myrna Pitt has tendered her resignation with effect from July.

While I served as the Minister of Housing and Water during the People’s Progressive Party/Civic’s tenure in office, Pitt proved to be a competent, ardent and committed public servant as well as professional.

She executed her functions with distinction and demonstrated very high levels of dedication despite the challenges faced by the entity while rolling out various policies and decisions as adumbrated by the government with collective and comprehensive input from the staff at the Central Housing and Planning Authority.

It was definitely an honour to have served alongside Pitt who proved concerned and truly committed to Guyana’s overall development.

After all, she was a stern and disciplined professional. I enjoyed our moments working round the clock during my tenure as Minister whether in the field, building Expo, during one of our many one stop shops or our retreats.

Guyana should be proud of this daughter. I pray that God grants her the continued good health and peace. The CHPA and ministry has lost one of the best and brightest minds in its field of work.
