THE Ministry of Natural Resources and the Environment has taken note of a comment in sections of the media that a ‘ministerial order’ was issued that no disciplinary action be taken against officers in an on-going investigation being undertaken as relates to an inspection and survey in Lethem, Region 9.Contrary to reports, the Ministry said it would like to restate that the GLSC Board of Directors has established a Committee that is reviewing the reports and conducting an investigation into the matter involving the Inspection and Surveying in Lethem, Region 9. The work of this Committee is on-going and there has not been any intervention by the Ministry as erroneously stated in a media article.
Following the media report and request for clarification, the Management of the GLSC has further advised the Ministry of Natural Resources and the Environment that the Committee has met on several occasions and deliberations are still on-going.
