Management of the Cheddi Jagan International Airport (CJIA) has refuted what it described as an “outrageous statement” by former Attorney General, Anil Nandlall that taxi drivers at the CJIA are required to wear green shirts to work.

On his Facebook page, Mr. Nandall alleged that some taxi drivers informed him that effective next week they are required to wear green shirts. However, a statement from the CJIA Wednesday lambaste Nandlall for falling victim to hearsay without seeking to verify the report with the appropriate authority.

The statement revealed that management of the CJIA is indeed considering new shirts for the taxi drivers and several colours are being considered including red, green, grey, white and even retaining the existing cream they wear at present.

“It is apt to note, that no final decision has been taken since we are still engaging the taxi drivers on a preferred colour,” the statement noted.

It further stated, “It is disappointing that the learned Anil Nandlall would seek to sow the seeds of discord between airport management and its taxi drivers by rushing to sensationalise a matter that is clearly a non-issue.”
