Prime Minister Mark Phillips yesterday commissioned the newly constructed Buxton Post Office and emphasised the need to ensure that the postal service is not left behind in today’s digital world.
Commissioned as part of the Guyana Post Office Corpora-tion’s (GPOC) World Post Day commemorative activities, the Prime Minister cited Universal Postal Union (UPU) Director General Masahiko Metoki, who said that nearly 100,000 out of 650,000 worldwide post offices lack adequate internet infrastructure.
A release from the Office of the Prime Minister said he noted that this limitation hinders the scope of digital, financial, and social inclusion services.
