In a significant move to bolster transparency and oversight within the public service, the government has unveiled plans to advertise two new deputy positions. These roles will be established at the Antigua and Barbuda Port Authority and the National Parks Authority. The announcement was made during Friday’s post-Cabinet press briefing by Government Spokesperson Maurice Merchant, who emphasized that this initiative is part of a broader strategy to rotate officials and revamp key administrative frameworks. ‘The Cabinet has identified two departments where deputy positions will be opened for applications,’ Merchant stated. ‘One is at the Antigua Port Authority, and the other is at the National Parks Authority.’ This decision aligns with the Cabinet’s ongoing efforts to enhance accountability and foster professional growth within the civil service by rotating long-serving officers across various ministries and statutory bodies. The positions are set to be advertised in the coming weeks, with detailed notices outlining the requirements, application procedures, and deadlines to be released by the respective authorities. This step underscores the government’s commitment to improving governance and ensuring that public institutions operate with greater efficiency and integrity.
