Home Letters PM Region 6 Office being used to fill out visa forms
Dear Editor,
I will like to bring to the attention of the Prime Minister a matter of concern about his Office in Region Six.
A few days back, my aunt ask me to accompany her to the Prime Minister’s Office to lodge a complaint concerning some matters that are affecting her. I agreed and went with her.
When we got there, we were ask 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 they had come 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 6, which is a Government office, is being used as a 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, who is believed to be a member of the Guyana Police Force.
This is total misuse of public office. Why is it that tax payers have to pay the rent, the bills, the Guyana Police Force, the PM’s 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’s way, just like what happened at NCN Berbice with his AFC member who misused her office.
The people of Region Six are looking forward to hearing the outcome of this matter.
Sincerely,
Avinash Persaud
