Managers and Directors of the newly renamed Ministry of Public Infrastructure were challenged by Minister David Patterson, during an interactive meeting at the Ministry’s Boardroom on Friday to be proactive in
how they manage their respective agencies/departments.
“This Ministry has a lot on its hands. Therefore, it is imperative that Managers continuously engage and connect with their staff and various stakeholders. Effective stakeholders’ engagement is a critical element in successful management,” he charged. “We have to define and defend our mandate.”
Patterson also hinted that there will be a revised structure on how the Ministry tackles road and sea defence maintenance.
He, along with Annette Ferguson, Minister within the Ministry, was briefed on the roles of the various agencies and departments, projects and financial performances, among other things.
In her address to the managers, Ferguson said she is enthusiastic to work with them, describing them as the backbone of the Ministry and servants of the people.
“We have the nation’s business to look after and we are here to get the job done,” she added.
The meeting involved 21 top officials including Balraj Balram, the Ministry’s Permanent Secretary; Ramesh Ghir, Chief Executive Officer of the Cheddi Jagan International Airport (CJIA); Geoffrey Vaughn, Coordinator of Works Services Group (WSG); Maitland Stewart, acting Chief Sea and River Defence Officer; Claudette Rogers, Director General of Maritime Administration Department (MARAD); Marcelene Merchant, General Manager of Transport and Harbours (T&HD); Zulficar Mohamed, Director General of Guyana Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA); Rawlston Adams, General Manager of Demerara Harbour Bridge (DHB); Ron Rahaman, Chief Roads and Bridges Officer and Louise Williams, General Manager of Canawaima Ferry Service.
