KINGSTON - Minister within the Ministry of Public Infrastructure Annette Ferguson, in a recent exclusive interview with the Government Information Agency (GINA), indicated that the major deficiencies that currently plague the Guyana Post Office Corporation will soon be addressed.
Minister Ferguson added that customer service is the backbone of the Post Office as such, she intends on ensuring the staff be adequately trained to provide a better quality of service. Additionally, staff from the Human Resources Department will undergo specialized training, to ensure they possess the requisite skills, which will help them to adapt to the changing environment.
She added that since she assumed office, she had the opportunity of meeting with the Board of Directors and Management, and was able to ascertain the immediate deficiencies, which are to be addressed.
“…the main problem is security…you would recall just before the 2015 Elections, the Post Office was hit by banditry…millions of monies which were to be used to pay old age pension were taken”.
In this regard, Minister Ferguson intends to solicit assistance from the Guyana Police Force for security, specifically where the transporting of large sums of money for the payment of pensions is concerned.
