Questionable employment practises in Region Five and suspicious privileges and responsibilities being afforded to one of the region’s drivers were put under the microscope during the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) hearing.
Appearing before the PAC was Regional Executive Officer (REO) Ovid Morrison. He was made to account for the deferential treatment of his driver, who was provided with housing at the region’s expense despite not being entitled to such.
Questions were also raised about the “heavy duty driver” being promoted to transport officer. The position was not advertised, despite express instructions from the Ministry of the Presidency’s Public Service department that this be done.
