A comprehensive renovation initiative is now underway at the Government Printery facility, targeting significant improvements to workplace conditions and addressing critical sanitation issues. The development was formally announced during this week’s post-Cabinet media briefing, where government representatives outlined the scope of the ongoing upgrades.
Maurice Merchant, Director General of Communications in the Office of the Prime Minister, revealed that among the most pressing concerns being addressed is a persistent pigeon infestation that has plagued the building for an extended period. “Work has commenced at the government’s printery to enhance working conditions for employees,” Merchant stated. “A primary focus involves the removal of substantial pigeon populations that have established residence within the facility.”
The remediation process involves carefully relocating the birds through humane methods as part of the initial cleanup phase. This essential first step will precede additional structural repairs and maintenance activities planned for the government printing operation.
According to officials from the Ministry of Works, which is overseeing the project, these measures are designed to guarantee that staff members can perform their duties in both safe and hygienic surroundings. The improvements will simultaneously ensure the printery’s continuous operational capacity throughout the renovation period. Merchant emphasized that these upgrades specifically aim to provide workers with substantially improved environmental conditions for their professional activities.
