Benn slams character attacks after GL&SC firing

Trevor Benn

Saying he does not regret leaving his United Nations job to fix a “broken” Guyana Lands & Surveys Commission (GL&SC), now former Commissioner Trevor Benn is not surprised at his sacking but has decried the besmirching of his character in what he believes is an attempt to ensure that persons like him cannot find employment outside of Guyana.

Benn, who was employed as Commissioner under the former APNU+AFC government, was sent his termination letter two weeks ago and his last day as an employee at the Commission will be on February 4th, 2021. His current contract comes to an end in March, 2022 but as is provided for in the contract he was given three months’ notice.

His termination came after his 42 days of leave, which he was sent on in September, expired.
