Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the State’s Central Housing and Planning Authority (CH&PA), Lelon Saul, was yesterday sent home with immediate effect.
Kaieteur News understands that Saul received his letter of termination from the Ministry of Housing and Water, after he arrived at work yesterday morning.
The CEO‘s contract was terminated with a month‘s notice. The decision to remove Saul was an executive one- it was taken at the level of Cabinet, a source explained to this newspaper.
Saul is a retired Lieutenant Colonel of the Guyana Defence Force (GDF) and also worked with the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP). He was appointed as CEO of the CH&PA in early 2017 by the previous Coalition government.
After receiving his letter of termination, Saul reportedly made a decision to leave the office since he was also due for leave.
In addition to Saul, Kaieteur News understands that several staffers of CH&PA’s procurement department have been sent home or sent to other departments.
With a new government in place under President Irfaan Ali, there have been refusals by a number of executives to resign.
Several persons, said to be political appointees, have been fired.
