In his address to the officials sworn-in, President Ali emphasised the need for more citizens to know about the functions of these and other bodies.
According to him, citizens would become more empowered to harness the services of these bodies if they are better edified.
“We need to do more to ensure that all of our citizens are acquainted with the different commissions and are acquainted with their rights,” the Guyanese Head of State said.
The tribunal provides public servants with a means of recourse in matters of appointments, dismissal or other forms of disciplinary action.
Meanwhile, the PUC is responsible for regulating public utilities such as those services provided by the Guyana Power and Light (GPL) and the Guyana Water Incorporated (GWI).
