Urgent repair works at the Ministry of the Presidency has forced the government to temporarily hold its weekly Cabinet Meetings at the GDF Officers Mess located inside Army Headquarters, Camp Ayangana.
The Ministry of the Presidency said repair works have already commenced in some sections of the main buildings of the MoTP complex.
These urgent works have resulted in some rooms, including Cabinet Room being temporarily unavailable for use.
As a consequence, a search was conducted for a suitable space to temporarily host Cabinet Meetings.
The main requirements for a temporary alternative venue relate to privacy and confidentiality, security, document preparation and reproduction, size, cost, accessibility, parking and minimal disruption to traffic and regular business.
The Government said after consideration of a number of options it was found that the vast majority of these venues did not meet several or some of the most important requirements or were unavailable for the times required.
The only venue which met the requirements was the Officers Mess at Camp Ayangana.
This venue will be temporarily used for Cabinet Meetings until repair works at the Ministry of the Presidency are complete.
There is no additional cost to the state for use of the Officers Mess.
