Forrester not an agent of the CHPA – Saul

Robert Forrester, whose photograph was placed in an advertisement over the weekend advising the public that he was not authorised to transact business on behalf of the Central Housing and Planning Authority (CHPA), is not an agent of the CHPA says Chief Executive Officer Lelon Saul.

“Mr Forrester is not an agent of the CHPA. We have received several complaints that seem to suggest that he is an agent of CHPA. He is not,” Saul said.

Saul made the comment when Stabroek News asked him yesterday why the advertisement was placed in the October 28 edition of the Sunday Stabroek.

Asked about a number of cases in which similar advertisements were placed in the newspapers, Saul said that in some cases, the ads were of employees who severed ties with the CHPA for one reason or another.

“That does not mean that they were involved in anything unethical at the agency. It is just a matter of being cautious and protecting the credibility of the agency in the future,” he said.
