Abstract:

This study explores the procedural complexities within Guyana's Public Service disciplinary processes, highlighting challenges such as delays, political interference, inadequate training, outdated regulations, and inconsistencies in rule application. These complexities negatively impact legal outcomes, prolong case resolutions, and undermine the integrity of decisions, contributing to public mistrust. Issues of transparency, fairness, and adherence to the rule of law are crucial for maintaining trust, while factors like political interference and corruption erode confidence. Additionally, remuneration disparities exacerbate indiscipline, affecting morale and productivity. Comprehensive reforms, including streamlined processes, enhanced training, improved transparency, and addressing pay disparities, are essential to strengthening the system’s effectiveness, integrity, and public trust.
