Former general manager of the National Insurance Scheme (NIS) and longtime advisor and contributor behind many of the agency’s social programmes and upgrades, Patrick Martinborough has died.
He was 72 years old.
He had served the NIS for 35 years, from 1988 to 2007, and although he retired would still return to give service as he conducted several administrative seminars and workshops.
An outpouring of praise came from the former NIS chairman Dr Roger Luncheon who remembered the tremendous contributions Martinborough made to the scheme. “Martin was a humble man, a very disciplined and competent general manager. Three things really stand out in describing him: competent strong and disciplined in the execution of his functions as general manager. He worked with such professionalism. He was the professional’s professional,” Luncheon told this newspaper.
