Speaker of your house of Representatives Juliet Holness has actually specified that her questionable letter of reprimand served on previous Clerk to your homes of Parliament Valrie Curtis, was not fulfilled as an indication of disrespect to the previous Clerk.
The Parliamentary Opposition and the Jamaica Civil Service Association have actually been requiring that the Speaker withdraw the questionable letter, arguing that it was gross disrespect to the previous civil servant who retired previously this month.
Mrs. Holness dealt with the matter on Tuesday afternoon, however did not provide an apology.
“Our distinctions in viewpoints on a specific administrative matter and the resulting procedural interaction to her, which was never ever put on her HR record, however which has actually regrettably been flowed in the general public domain, was never ever planned to sidetrack from her years of service and important contribution to the Parliament,” stated your house Speaker.
She continued, keeping in mind that she holds the retired clerk in high regard, acknowledges her contribution and enduring mark on the Parliament, and would “not enable that to be eclipsed for any factor”.
