WATCH: Government to appoint deputies at major statutory corporations to strengthen transparency
Prime Minister Gaston Browne has announced that the government will soon be appointing deputy managers across several major statutory corporations as part of a broader effort to improve transparency, accountability, and leadership continuity within the public sector.
Among those affected will be the Antigua and Barbuda Port Authority, where Port Manager Darwin Telemaque is expected to have a deputy appointed in the coming weeks.
The move, Browne said, is not a reflection of performance but a step toward building stronger institutional structures and ensuring proper oversight.
Speaking over the weekend, the Prime Minister explained that the initiative will extend to other key agencies, including the Transport Board and additional government departments.
