Expect no special treatment from Hon. Pickering!
At the moment, all exemptions are being scrutinized by Dr. Pickering – a move that has received mixed reaction from the community.
However, the Labour Minister told residents that the Labour Department has stringent guidelines for giving out work permit exemptions but unfortunately during the last couple of years that system “seem to have fallen apart.”
He admitted that since entering office the mentality of some who voted for him expect special favours, and firmly stated that he will not compromise the integrity of the department.
“I get my own licks because my own people who expect favours from me because they vote for me expect me to give them work exemptions for their girlfriends, boyfriends or maid or something like that. I say I can’t do that! We have a system in place where our country is going to function where everybody is going to understand that there is justice and fairness,” Hon. Pickering stated.
He said it gets him upset when people go behind “someone’s back to get the exemption.”
The Minister added, “If someone come to me and say they applied and have not heard back anything that is the Labour Department’s responsibility!”
