Public Encouraged To Serve On Govt Boards
Minister for the Cabinet Office Wayne Furbert is “advising the public that the application process is currently open for those wishing to serve on government boards and committees.”
Minister Furbert notes that Expression of Interest [EOI] forms are now available on the Government website and can be completed and submitted electronically. The EOI forms can be accessed here.
Minister Furbert said, “Interested individuals are encouraged to take advantage of this opportunity to serve their community. Government boards and committees play an important role in the community by ensuring good governance and by providing independent and expert governance or advice.”
The deadline for submission is 6 December, 2019.
What’s the point when historically, the Government doesn’t listen to any advice it’s given anyway…
My thoughts exactly. What is the point when you have a dictatorial, race obsessed regime who couldn’t manage their way out of a paper bag.
It is pandering. The PLP Government wants people to think it is listening and to think it cares about them. The UBP Government did the same thing 25 years ago.
Why bother? You know you are going to select those that support your agenda! Most government boards have become an extension of the government itself. Its been that way for a long time. Only those who support your vision will be considered, plus a few “token” individuals that will give the illusion of equality and broad representation of the public.
This is a complete waste of time. This is ONLY open for Hard-core PLPers. They’re not interested in anyone who doesn’t TOW-THE-LINE.
We will wait another 6 months
It’s okay to be on Boards,
A lot of work does get done and it’s a way of contributing to the community.
Don’t make me holler!!! Who takes this seriously. All the Boards I know and see are filled with PLP friends and family………..anything other than that are not wanted or accepted. PLP – Masters of allusion!
can I bet a six figure salary since we seem to have money coming out of the wazoo. Mind youI Ido have a strike against me since i am a Bermudian that is of a different pedigree.But to put it simply they don’t listen so why waste the time and aim not friends or family. guess thats strike 2
