Former Regional Educa-tion Officer (REdO) of Potaro-Siparuni, Anesta Douglas yesterday told the presidential inquiry into the Mahdia dormitory fire that it was impossible for her to review a key report submitted by the Guyana Fire Service (GFS) months before the blaze since she was given just one week’s notice to pack for Georgetown.
Douglas, who has been reassigned to the Depart-ment of Education in Georgetown, told the inquiry that she received a report on February 7th this year, from the Sub- Officer following an inspection conducted at the school’s female dormitory.
The report which highlighted the inadequacies at the Mahdia secondary school dormitory was deemed as a matter of urgency by Scott, which the REdO said she acknowledged but was engrossed in other work-related tasks.
