-Says AG during meeting with staff at Legal Affairs Ministry
THE Attorney General (AG) and Minister of Legal Affairs, Mohabir Anil Nandlall, on Friday met with professional, managerial, clerical and secretarial staff of the Ministry of Legal Affairs.
In brief remarks, the AG reminded the staff that their priority, at all times, must be to render professional and competent service to the government and to the people of Guyana at large .
Minister Nandlall assured all staff members that there will not be any form of discrimination or witch-hunting of any sort at the ministry and that all staff members are expected to discharge their duties professionally and competently.
However, the minister indicated that there will be a review of the work and operations of the ministry and any action and conduct considered to be excessive and unlawful will be addressed swiftly and condignly.
The AG emphasised that the People’s Progressive Party/Civic (PPP/C) administration is committed to improving the lives of every Guyanese and reminded his staff that this is the ministry that is charged with the responsibility of laying down the legal infrastructure to make that possible. Minister Nandlall further assured the staff that he remains accessible at all times to any staff member, irrespective of the position they hold.
The Attorney General concluded his address by expressing his best wishes to everyone and stated that he expects a cohesive and harmonious relationship with every member of staff.
Nandlall, who also previously served as chief legal adviser under Donald Ramotar’s minority government, asserted that this time around in a previous interview, posited that the government will work towards an “active legislative agenda.” This is because there are many important pieces of legislation that have to be passed in this era, especially considering the fact that Guyana is now entering into a new economic vista as an oil-producing nation.
