Operationalising of local gov’t commission hasn’t been focus for UK – Quinn

The David Granger-led administration’s failure to establish the Local Government Commission (LGC) after more than two years in office has not been a focus of the UK government, British High Commissioner to Guyana Greg Quinn said last Thursday.

Many hiring and firing decisions are now being handled by the Public Service Commission and the Ministry of Communities instead of at the LGC due to the situation.

Speaking at a “Meet the Press Day” at his residence, Quinn acknowledged the importance of the commission, he could not say with certainty if he would raise the issue if he meets with President Granger before proceeding on leave next month.
