The long vacant post of Ombudsman will likely be filled soon as government yesterday informed the opposition of its selection of former Justice Winston Moore to hold the position.
A main opposition spokesman yesterday said that more important than the selection of Moore is ensuring that the appointment is not a “rubber stamp position.”
“We had a consultation with the president on the appointment of an Ombudsman and they informed us that Winston Moore was selected… this is not a position where we are required any input but we don’t just want an Ombudsman to say we have one. We want a functioning one free to execute his duties,”
