The Office of the Commissioner of Information has been vacant since March of this year, when office holder Charles Ramson Sr was sacked, Prime Minister Moses Nagamootoo told the Committee of Supply yesterday.
During the consideration of the Office of the Prime Minister’s estimated expenditure for 2019, Nagamootoo told the Committee that Ramson was dismissed for rendering his office dysfunctional since he has been unable to submit an account of what he has done.
Despite the termination of his employment, Ramson’s salary was paid in full, with the funds allocated in the 2018 budget completed expended.
