In the past it was someone closely connected to the Minister. Gradually we are moving away from that trend creating a new trend to appoint suitably qualified individuals to high positions - System Change

Well... he was seen sitting at the front row of the retired servicemen's forum of NPP. He is not from the maritime background and a military person. How a military person would run a competitive business remains to be seen. Here NPP didn't walk their talk. He was also the choice of Gota as Secretary of ports in 2029/20 with Johnston !
