Home Affairs Minister to answer questions on work permits

Minister of Home Affairs, Clement Rohee, is set to provide answers to the National Assembly on questions pertaining to the issuance of work permits over the past four years.
The questions were placed on the Order Paper last Thursday and are likely to appear again for answers before the end of the month.
The questions were posed by Alliance For Change (AFC) Member of Parliament, Catherine Hughes.
Hughes asked the Minister how many work permits were issued to foreign nationals over the period January 1, 2010 to May 31, 2014.
She asked too, that the Minister provide the National Assembly with the nationality of each recipient and the duration of the permit.
In addition, Hughes wants to know what job each permit holder was employed to do as well as the name of the employers.
Yesterday, Hughes told Kaieteur News that she has been curious about the subject for some time now. She said that she has been seeing more and more “foreigners” dwelling in Guyana and is interested in knowing more about them.
Minister Rohee said that he does not know whether this information will be readily available or if the Member of Parliament will have to wait a long period before her questions are answered.
