How can the Public Sector help the Office of the Ombudsman?:
The principle aim of the Office of the Ombudsman is to help people resolve their problems effectively. The full cooperation of Public Officers is required if this objective is to be achieved. Public Service is a public trust requiring employees to strictly uphold the Constitution and the Laws of Trinidad and Tobago. Public Officers are responsible for performing their jobs in a manner that assures the delivery of effective public service. They are obliged to ensure that the Ombudsman is provided at all times with the necessary assistance and cooperation for the effective discharge of her constitutional duties. As part of their obligation, they should respond promptly to requests for information, and take the appropriate remedial action to resolve complaints in a timely fashion.
