Guyana Lands and Surveys Commission (GL&SC) yesterday commemorated its 11th anniversary with a ceremony in recognition of its employees’ contribution towards the entity’s development.
Employees were bestowed with special prizes and certificates for their long service and punctuality in the presence of Prime Minister Samuel Hinds, Minister of Natural Resources and the Environment Robert Persaud and Permanent Secretary, Office of the President, Omar Shariff, at a special ceremony held on the lawns of the Commission in Durban Backlands.
Prime Minister Hinds in congratulating the commission outlined some of his continued expectations of the staff and the commission. The staffers were urged that as they participate in the process of service of the commission that they should ensure that all they do so is meaningful to the growth and development of Guyana, so as to accelerate this growth and development.
Staff, according to a government release, was also counseled to rise above the challenges of the job and issues of conflict and integrity, and to ensure that they keep abreast of and stay ahead of technology as it evolves with regards to the services provided by the commission.
Minister Persaud, in addressing the employees, spoke of how critical the commission is and the role it plays in the nation’s development embedded in the agency of managing, planning and ensuring the effective utilisation of the country’s land resources and the commission’s potential to impact on other agencies and areas of development.
Minister Persaud said the agency is pivotal to economic growth and social development and it makes the lives of Guyanese easier.
Persaud applauded the substantial progress that the commission made over the years but called for building of the human capacity at the Commission.
Among some of the employees honoured for their long service to the commission are Florence Bart (for 32 years of service) and Jennifer Loncke and Carlotta Major, who received special prizes for being the most punctual. Special awards were also handed out to Tedwin Roach, David Cole and Rayburn Holder, among others.
