On Monday, 7th October 2024, the Office of the Ombudsman conducted an outreach clinic at the Grand Anse Praslin Administration District. The Ombudsman, Hon. George Robert, alongside two staff members, Mrs. Carmen Cesar and Ms. Sylvette Gertrude, represented the office. The aim of the clinic was to raise awareness about the role of the Ombudsman, provide information on the Constitution, and offer a platform for individuals to register new complaints.

This event marked the first in a series of activities planned throughout the week to commemorate Ombuds Day, which is celebrated on the second Thursday of October. This year's theme, "Here to Hear You," highlights the office's commitment to listening to the public's concerns and promoting fairness and accountability in public services. The session, held from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM, saw strong community engagement and served as an excellent start to the week-long celebrations.
