Through deliberate leadership and principled action, this administration has taken bold steps to correct injustices, restore fairness, and rebuild a stable and professional Public Service.
To address decades of indiscriminate hiring outside of the Public Service Commission and to reduce the overreliance on contract labour, the 2024/2025 Regularization Process is already producing transformative results. Coupled with the Government’s prior achievement of settling outstanding retroactive pension payments and introducing a new contributory pension scheme for officers outside the establishment, Grenada is witnessing a pragmatic and people-centred approach to resolving disparities in job security, tenure, and compensation.
The progress is substantial and undeniable:
• 618 officers have been confirmed in their positions, bringing long-awaited stability and dignity to their roles.
• 311 unestablished employees have been appointed to the establishment, strengthening continuity and professionalism across ministries.
• 1,049 new positions have been created to facilitate additional appointments and modernize the structure of the Public Service.
• Over 300 employees have received salary adjustments to eliminate long-standing disparities and ensure equal pay for equal work.
• 32 long-serving employees in truly vacant positions have been appointed as of December 2024, making them newly eligible for the defined-benefit pension they rightfully deserve.
These actions reaffirm the values that the National Democratic Congress stands for: fairness, transparency, equity, and respect for workers. They signal a new era where public officers no longer live in limbo, where service to the country is honoured with the security, benefits, and recognition it deserves.
In moving decisively to regularize the Public Service, the Government is building a stronger, more stable, and more just Grenada where workers are empowered, families are uplifted, and national development is grounded in fairness and good governance. This is the kind of progressive leadership that puts people first and moves our nation forward with confidence.
