The Gen eral Services Agency (GSA) has concluded a one-day operational assessment in River Gee County.
The assessment was to strengthen the management and protection of government’s assets.
The exercise included indoor discussions and field visits to key government facilities and project sites.
The program began with welcome remarks from the county Superintendent Mike T. Swengbe.
GSA Director General, Galakpai W. Kortimai, said, the mandate of the Agency is to oversee and safeguard all government properties.
Kortimai meanwhile, sternly warned against the unauthorized use of government assigned license plates on other vehicles for non-governmental activities.
“The Agency has the authority to arrest anyone who is not a government official, but is found using government plates on private vehicles, motorcycles, tricycles ‘kekehs,’or any other unauthorized means.”
Kortimai also outlined the GSA’s core values, and reaffirmed the Agency’s commitment to accountability in the management of public assets.
The Agency Deputy Director General for Operations, Robert E. Wilson, spoke on the proper procedures for acquiring government assets.
Wilson also provided an update on the statuses, and management of government properties nationwide.
Following the indoor session, the GSA delegation toured several sites, including the proposed parking location for county-owned machinery to assess its suitability, the proposed site for the Presidential Palace, the Fish Town City Hall site, and sites for other government service centers.
Officials said, the River Gee assessment is part of GSA’s ongoing nationwide effort to strengthen the management, protection, and accountability of government assets, and to ensure public facilities are properly utilized for service delivery.
