Govt moves to digitise NDC records, fix record-keeping gaps

– digitisation efforts to support single window system – Manickchand

The Government is working to digitise records at Neighbourhood Democratic Councils (NDCs) across Guyana while addressing the failure of these local democratic organs to submit their annual financial statements for audit.

This is according to Minister of Local Government and Regional Development, Priya Manickchand, during an appearance on The Guyana Dialogue Programme on Thursday, as she highlighted a number of pressing issues that need to be addressed at these local Government bodies across the country. One such issue she pointed out is the failure of NDCs to produce their annual financial statements – something that the Auditor General continues to flag in its yearly reports. “So, we need to correct that,” Manickchand declared.
