A rat infestation problem with predates 2016 is again causing problems at the Government Printery.

“The rodents have damaged several machines and are a nuisance to staff,” the government says.

“The Cabinet agreed to have a group from the Public Works seal the building to prevent entry by the creatures, and to fumigate it on the weekend so that the rodent population can be eliminated,” it added.

“Thereafter, a continuous program to keep the premises free from rodents will be put in place,” it was decided at Cabinet.

“The staff at the Printery can be assured that Cabinet will attend to the problem immediately” according to the executive.

The Minister of Health is expected address staff on Thursday morning, October 10, 2019.

  1. The Printery needs to be relocated, it’s an old building.
    With food being consumed at the Fire Station, ARG and the schools in close proximity to the Printery with garbage being placed in unsecured bins; what else is expected but rotents. The whole area is full of rodents. Some big one are at the Fire Station have cats running from them and mosquitoes telling the officers hello. People can’t be healthy in such environment. Urgent attention needed.
