ReplyDeleteA forward thinker and a visionarie who will bring something of value to any table he sits at.
ReplyDeleteGood move. I am sure tjst he will serve with distinction
ReplyDeleteDo you all notice that the PM Holness has an affinity for military men being put in various positions.Whats on his mind a military dictatorship or a militarized democracy.I observe with a certain amount of unease.
ReplyDeleteThere are many highly qualified career public sector officers that could have been promoted to that position(s) instead of a military officer. So I am not appreciative of the PMs pattern of doing bisiness where he awards his friends and loyalist with these key positions.
