The computerisation of the Licensing Department will begin ’in earnest’ from mid-October, Public Administration Minister Kennedy Swaratsingh says.

He said Government had concluded the agreement with the government of the Province of Nova Scotia. The Nova Scotia experts will be ’on the ground’ in this country from mid-October to begin phase one of the computerisation process, he said during last Thursday’s post-Cabinet briefing at the Diplomatic Centre in St Ann’s.

Minister of Public Utilities Mustapha Abdul Hamid also said that Government had agreed to a TT$12- million upgrade of TTPost. This will involve the expansion of the Mail Centre at Piarco, the reconstruction and upgrade of a number of delivery units around the country, a human resource audit, a job evaluation exercise, the upgrade of the point of sale system and the purchase of vehicles.
