International civil servant Dr Toussant Boyce, 48, has described as “ridiculous,” his achievements which include two master’s degrees with first class honours from Cambridge and Harvard and offers of scholarships from both to read for doctorates in philosophy, a first for a Caribbean national. He can place some 11 acronyms after his name, but not a man to show off, he uses none.
Boyce, the first Head, Office of Integrity, Compliance and Accountability, Caribbean Development Bank (CDB) has always been either the first or among the first in the Caribbean to do certain things.
“I always ask, why me?” he said in an interview with Stabroek Weekend from his Barbados home.
