Repair and maintenance work has begun at the Government Printery as authorities move to improve working conditions at the facility and address sanitation concerns.
The update was provided during the weekly post-Cabinet media briefing, where officials said the Ministry of Works has started a series of upgrades aimed at creating a safer and healthier environment for employees.
Director General of Communications in the Office of the Prime Minister, Maurice Merchant, said one of the key issues being addressed is a long-standing pigeon infestation at the building.
“Work commenced at the government’s printery to improve the working conditions of employees,” Merchant said. “Among the major tasks being undertaken is the removal of a large number of pigeons, which have made the government’s printery their home.”
Authorities said the birds will be relocated as part of the clean-up process before additional repairs are carried out.
Officials noted that the maintenance work is intended to ensure that staff can operate in a safe and sanitary environment while the facility continues its operations.
“The Ministry of Works has begun repairs and maintenance works there,” Merchant said, adding that the improvements are aimed at ensuring workers can perform their duties under better conditions.
